Any form of work means it\u2019s important to have periods where you can step away, uplug, and reset. But like other workplace rights and regulations, vacation for employees is a complicated topic in Ontario.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can be tricky to understand, so we\u2019re breaking it all down in this blog for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is considered a part-time employee?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca\/remuneration-compensation\/services-paye-pay-services\/paye-information-pay\/vie-life\/emploi-change-employment\/change-heures-hours-eng.html#toc5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Government of Canada<\/a>, part-time employment is defined \u201cwhen your assigned hours are more than one-third of&nbsp;<em>but<\/em>&nbsp;less than a normal full-time work week or one-third&nbsp;<em>or<\/em>&nbsp;less of a normal full-time workweek.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a part-time worker who works more than one-third of, but less than a normal full-time workweek, you are subject to the terms and conditions of your employment agreement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you are someone who works one-third or less of a normal full-time workweek, you are only required to follow certain terms and conditions, such as earning vacation leave and union dues deductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the paid time off (PTO) benefits?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the amount paid for vacation, salaried employees are given paid time off with full salary continuation, while hourly employees get 4% of all earnings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Any other benefits offered?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are working a minimum of 12 hours per week on a part-time basis in Canada, you could be eligible to participate in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/treasury-board-secretariat\/services\/pension-plan\/active-members\/working-part-time.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">public service pension plan<\/a>. You aren\u2019t eligible if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You work part-time an average of less than 12 hours a week<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have been employed part-time in the public service since July 3, 1994 and have not chosen to contribute within the prescribed period<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are working on an \u201cas needed\u201d basis\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Are working seasonal for six months or less, until you\u2019ve completed six months of continuous service<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have reached the age of 71 or 35 years of pensionable service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/treasury-board-secretariat\/services\/pension-plan\/active-members\/working-part-time.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">calculate your pension here<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And while this isn\u2019t technically a benefit, paid holidays are probably the best part of PTO when it comes to part-time work. In Canada, part-time employees aren\u2019t paid for designated paid holidays. Instead, they\u2019re paid a&nbsp;<em>premium.&nbsp;<\/em>That means employees are paid 1.5 times their hourly wage for each hour or part of an hour worked on these days. This premium is paid on top of the employee&#8217;s public holiday pay for that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does vacation time work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of whether the employee is full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal, or contract, the minimum vacation time under the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/statute\/00e41\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Employment Standards Act (ESA)<\/a>&nbsp;in Ontario is two weeks (or 10 days) for five years or less, or three weeks (15 days) if five years or more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Calculating vacation time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The vacation time entitlement for a stub period is calculated as two or three weeks of vacation multiplied by the ratio of the length of the stub period to 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"779\" height=\"86\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/image-6.png 779w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/image-6-300x33.png 300w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/image-6-768x85.png 768w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/07\/image-6-440x49.png 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 779px) 100vw, 779px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But if crunching numbers on your own isn\u2019t your thing,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.services.cnt.gouv.qc.ca\/outilscalcul\/vacances?lang=en_CA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here is a great calculator<\/a>&nbsp;to help you calculate your vacation time&nbsp;<em>and&nbsp;<\/em>pay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about freelancers and contractors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since self-employed workers do not earn paid time off or vacation time, they must make sure all living essentials are covered. Of course, they have the flexibility to take vacation time when it makes the most sense for them, but they are not entitled to vacation pay.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get started with 91爆料<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have you explored 91爆料\u2019s Time Off 3.0 yet?
