Canadian Employment Standards
Browse year-specific legal references for statutory holidays, vacation pay, sick leave, overtime, and official government sources. Product support is identified separately from reference coverage.
Last updated October 14, 2026
These editions retain Federal and Quebec statutory references for comparison. Beanflow Payroll does not support federally regulated employment-standards workplaces, and Quebec remains reference/catalog content rather than a supported payroll runtime.
For Vacation, the supported 2025/2026 runtime roster is AB, BC, MB, NB, NL, NS, NT, NU, ON, PE, SK, and YT. Vacation Pay and Vacationable Earnings are verified for that supported scope, and the statutory minimum is active. Holiday Pay is a separate, spot-checked verification track and should not be read as fully verified or automated from the Vacation status.

ReadWhy the year matters
Holiday dates and employment-standard rules can change. Each edition keeps its own data and official-source links; the site does not silently fall back to another year.
Province links that previously used ?province=SK or #SK continue to open
the matching jurisdiction in the current published edition.

Workers' compensation uses a separate annual maximum and an employer-specific assigned rate. See the workers' compensation guide for that boundary.
Frequently asked questions
Does Beanflow support every jurisdiction listed in these employment standards editions?
No. Reference coverage is broader than Beanflow product support. The editions retain Federal and Quebec statutory references for comparison, but Beanflow Payroll does not support federally regulated employment-standards workplaces, and Quebec remains reference/catalog content rather than a supported payroll runtime.
Which jurisdictions are supported for Vacation Pay and Vacationable Earnings?
The supported runtime roster is AB, BC, MB, NB, NL, NS, NT, NU, ON, PE, SK, and YT. Vacation Pay and Vacationable Earnings are verified for that supported scope, and the statutory minimum is active.
Does verified Vacation coverage mean Holiday Pay is also verified?
No. Holiday Pay is a separate, spot-checked verification track and should not be read as fully verified or automated from the Vacation status. Check the Holiday Pay status on its own rather than inferring it from Vacation coverage.
Why is each year published as a separate edition?
Holiday dates and employment-standard rules can change, so each edition keeps its own data and official-source links. The site does not silently fall back to another year — if you need a specific year’s rules, open that year’s edition.
Do old ?province=SK or #SK links still work?
Yes. Province links that previously used a ?province=SK or #SK format continue to open the matching jurisdiction in the current published edition, so existing links keep resolving to the right jurisdiction.
