You must be paid at least 1 times your regular rate if you work on a public holiday, but special provisions apply in the hospitality industry and other industries. You are entitled to vacation pay at the rate of 4 per cent of all money you earn. No minimum period of employment is required. After one year of service you are entitled to two weeks' vacation with pay. You must receive your vacation pay and any wages due not later than seven days after your employment ends.
Every union has the right to set dues to pay for the services it provides.
Every employee who is represented by a union may be required to pay dues. Even if you pay dues to a union, you are not automatically a member. You must sign an application card to become a member. For union information, speak to your shop steward. Most workplaces in Ontario are covered by provincial workplace health and safety and employment standards laws.
