Some workplaces will set aside an evening when they provide their employees a chance to relax and get to know each other outside of the work place.

A Holiday Social does have some positives, however, if you are still feeling anxious about it, it is ok to decline the invite and try again next year! Holiday Hours/Holiday Pay Holiday hours and pay vary wildly between workplaces. They depend on your employer, the industry you work in, and what your contract stipulates. For instance, someone working as a programmer for a tech company might have Remembrance Day off, whereas if you’re working at somewhere like Cineplex or Sobeys you may be required to work. It is important to understand your employer’s specific position regarding holidays and holiday pay. This information should be provided to you in an employment contract. If you have a question about it, ask your employer. They will be happy to provide you with this information so you better understand their specific policies. There are useful resources available to you through the Nova Scotia Labour Standard Code. You can access the code by clicking here. This code gives an overview of how holiday pay works, what is and is not covered by Labour Rules, and how these policies impact different roles.
