Yes, its true, on May 7, 2018 the Ontario Government “set aside” the new method of calculating public holiday pay that was brought in under bill 148 (Fair Workplaces Act) in January 2018.
Employers must go back to the previous calculation of the total wages earned plus any vacation pay payable in the 4 weeks previous to the holiday and dividing by 20.
The change WILL NOT affect the Victoria Day (“May 24”) holiday but WILL affect the July 1 (Canada Day) holiday.
