Full-time nannies in Vancouver who work 40 hours a week are legally entitled to 4% vacation pay or a 2-week paid vacation.  All statutory holidays and overtime (which is defined as over 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week) are paid out as time and a half. It is important to also note that both nannies and their employers are entitled to a 2-week notice of termination.
Vacation pay is pro-rated if the nanny works part-time. For example, if the nanny works 3 days each week, they would only be entitled to 6 days of vacation per year.
In the event that a family chooses the timing of their vacation, they must give at least 2-4 weeks’ notice before the vacation would begin.
