Thanks in advance for any info that can be provided. I work full-time, contract (1 year at a time) and the school I work at often is open on national holidays. For example, on September 18, we are open and I am expected to come in and work as if it were a regular day.
My question is, and since the labor laws in English when searching went over my head, is my employer required to provide me with a “day in lieu” if I work a national holiday? I know Saturday, September 23 is also a holiday, but I don’t work Saturdays. Since my boss hasn’t mentioned anything, I wanted to bring it up with him but wanted to have some knowledge of the labor laws in case I get push back. If I am not entitled to extra compensation or a day in lieu then that’s the end of it but if I am, I wanted to know where in the labor standards it talks about it. Every time I do ask questions about the work situations, he always brings up the labor code so I thought I would ask before talking to him about it.
Our school is small and has less than 10 employees.
​
Thank you.
