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 August 17, 2026

Reference coverage is broader than Beanflow product support.

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.

Available editions

Why 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.
