Who Beanflow calculates vacation for in Nova Scotia

Beanflow automatically calculates Nova Scotia’s standard employment-standards vacation. Outside commissioned-sales coverage is a worker question, not a company industry label.

What this page is for

  • Use it when Beanflow asks you to confirm that this employee follows Nova Scotia’s standard vacation rules.
  • This is product coverage, not a full employment-standards manual. Statutory rates and official sources live on the employment-standards reference.
  • Company industry, employment type, occupation, and WCB classification do not decide this.

Confirm coverage when

  • Employees covered by Nova Scotia’s ordinary vacation leave and vacation-pay rules.
  • Workplace-based staff, including people who sometimes earn commission at the employer’s place of business.

Do not confirm coverage when

Outside commissioned salesperson

Do not confirm coverage if this person ordinarily sells away from the employer’s premises and is paid by commission. Beanflow does not infer that status from occupation, commission earnings, or employment type.

Company type is not enough

A sales or service company can still have employees on standard Nova Scotia vacation. Confirm the person’s work arrangement, not the company’s industry.

If you cannot confirm

Do not add this employee to a Beanflow pay group for automatic statutory vacation. Beanflow will not guess a special vacation rule for outside commissioned sales.
