SCENARIO

Your organization is a floral supply company with employees in the following jurisdictions:

Manitoba

Prince Edward Island

Yukon

The organization is planning to implement a company-wide policy with respect to vacation leave and vacation pay that provides the same benefits to all employees, regardless of their province of employment. As the Payroll Supervisor, provide Cheryl Mark, the Director of Finance, with the following information:

Identify four specific items relating to vacation leave and vacation pay that will have to be addressed in the policy to ensure compliance with the employment/labour standards in each jurisdiction.

Research the details for each of the items you have identified using the course material and the employment/labour standards website for each jurisdiction.

Using the results of your research, provide your recommendations to Ms. Mark on how to address each of these items in the policy to provide the employees with the best benefit, while keeping the cost to the organization at a minimum. Explain your reasoning.
