After discussions with stakeholders, the Government of Ontario has passed a new regulation (Ontario Regulation 375/18), which prescribes the same manner for
calculating public holiday pay that was used pre-Bill 148.
If the employee was on leave or on vacation or both for the entire pay period before the public holiday, the regular wages earned by the employee in the pay period before the start of that leave or vacation, divided by the number of days the employee worked in that period is used to
calculate the public holiday pay.
This new formula required employers to
calculate public holiday pay based on the regular wages earned in the pay period before the public holiday, divided by the number of days the employee worked in that pay period.
