캐나다 국경일, 공휴일 정리 - 캐나다 전지역 & 각 주별 공휴일

새해가 밝았습니다. 아직도 긴 연휴에서 못 헤어나고 헤롱헤롱 하다가... 비몽사몽 포스팅 하나 해봅니다. ㅎ 원래는 다른 주제에 관해서 쓸려다가, 이 주제를 먼저 안 알아볼 수가 없더군요~ 누구나 궁금해 하는 '올해 쉬는날은 언제, 얼마나인가'이죠. ㅋㅋ 

하지만 캐나다의 공휴일을 알아보다 한가지 아쉬운점 혹은 반가운 점은.. .한국에서는 공휴일이 특정 날짜로 쉬지만 캐나다는 몇번째 주 무슨 요일 식으로 상대적으로 공휴일을 정하는지라... 설레임이 없는거(?) 같기도하고... 음력 계산하지 않아서 좋네요. ㅎ

A statutory holiday (also known as "general" or "public" holiday) in Canada is legislated either through the federal, or a provincial or territorial government.^[1] Most workers, public and private, are entitled to take the day off with regular pay. However, some employers may require employees to work on such a holiday, but the employee must either receive a day off in lieu of the holiday or must be paid at a premium rate — usually 1½ (known as "time and a half") or twice (known as "double time") the regular pay for their time worked that day, in addition to the holiday pay^{[citation needed]} (except for high technology workers in British Columbia).^[2] In most provinces, when a statutory holiday falls on a normal day off (generally a weekend), the following work day is considered a statutory holiday. Statistics Canada shows an average of 11 paid statutory holidays per year in regard to all firms and corporations operating within the province.

*위 빨간색 부분이 공휴일 페이에 관한 부분입니다. 캐나다에서는 국경일, 주별 공휴일 등의 특별한 공휴일에는 일을 안해도 평균 급여를 받을 수 있습니다. 너무 멋져요. ㅜㅜ 그리고 혹시나 이날에 일을 하게 된다면 1.5배 급여를 받구요. 물론 국경일 페이를 포함해서 말이죠. 다른사람들 쉬는날 일하는거 싫은 만큼 잘 챙겨주는거 같아요. 이러날 일하면 페이가 더블인 느낌! ㅋ (시급으로 봉급 계산하는 직업 기준입니다. 샐러리는 계약에 따라 다른듯)

Unlike most other provinces, there is no province-wide holiday on the first Monday in August. It may be seen as redundant due to the Royal St. John's Regatta, which is observed as a civic holiday in St. John's on the first Wednesday in August (or, in case of poor weather, the next suitable day thereafter). Harbour Grace has a similar holiday for its regatta in late July. All other municipalities are entitled to designate one day a year as a civic holiday, however many do not take advantage of this.

맺음말

새해 첫날, 크리스마스 등 특별히 날짜가 정해져 있지 않은 공휴일은 거의 대부분 공휴일이 '무슨달의 몇번째 월요일' 식입니다. 그래서 날짜가 정해져 있는 한국의 '광복절'등의 국경일처럼 올해는 일요일과 겹치는지 안 겹치는지 고민해볼 필요가 거의 없는거 같습니다. 그리고 대부분 공휴일이 주말 앞뒤로 배치되어 있어서 주말을 끼운 긴 연휴를 만들어 주는 느낌이네요. 참 바람직합니다. ㅎ

한국에서처럼 오늘은 얼마나 쉴까? 일요일고 안 겹쳐야 하는데.. 하는 고민은 없지만, 그 때문에 설레임이 줄기도 하네요.ㅎ 뻔하니까;; 그래도 공휴일에 일 안하는데에도 일정 급여를 받을 수 있다는건 참 좋은거 같습니다. 예전에 워킹홀리데이 할 때 우연찮게 공휴일마다 일하게 되서, 그 때마다 페이가 두둑했던 기억이 나는군요. ㅎ 댓글은 큰 힘이 되는거 잊지 마시구요. 그 외에 닉쑤를 응원하는 방법은 블로그 메뉴의 '화이팅'를 참고해주세요.  좋은 하루 되세요~
