|---|---|---|
| $45,000 | 1/20 of wages earned in the 4 weeks before | $173 |
| $60,000 | 1/20 of wages earned in the 4 weeks before | $231 |

How the rule works
Under Employment Standards Act, s. 18, Victoria Day is a paid statutory holiday in Yukon. Stat pay is calculated as: 1/20 of wages earned in the 4 weeks before. In practice this produces roughly one regular day of wages for most employees, though the mechanical formula differs from a straight "day's pay" in ways that matter for irregular schedules, commission earners, and part-time employees.
If the employee works on Victoria Day: 1.5× regular rate for hours worked on the holiday, in addition to stat pay.
Statute reference: Employment Standards Act, s. 18.
