Objective of this Assignment:

To get the learner acquainted with searching legislative websites and determining the commonalities and differences between the provincial and territorial jurisdictions.

Pre-Assignment Instructions:

1. To prepare you for this assignment, read the module 2 content and follow the embedded learning activities.
2. Read chapter 2 of the textbook.
3. Navigate to the respective provincial labour standards websites and review the legislation around statutory holidays.

Assignment Tasks:

2. To compare and contrast legislation in different jurisdictions assume you are working for a company that operates in BC, ON, and NS. Review the statutory holiday requirements for British Columbia, Ontario, and Nova Scotia and create a company policy that allows the same number of holidays per year for each employee assuring that all required stats in each jurisdiction are given. Your assignment is to be submitted in MS WORD format. It should be submitted with the following guidelines:
   1. Include a cover page with the course code and course name, the assignment number, the title of your assignment, your student ID, your name, the instructor’s name, and the date the assignment is created.
   2. Identify the holidays in each jurisdiction, ensuring you are using information from a legislative website such as labor standards for each province.
   3. Ensure that all employees have the same number of days off but not necessarily the same dates if legislation varies. Advise how many days.
   4. Where there are variations in dates (a day is statutory in one province and not another) be sure to indicate how these will be treated in the other jurisdictions. Ie. Will all employees have the same dates off or will those employees where a holiday is not state be given a floater day to take at their request.
   5. The font should be either Calibri or Arial, 11pt. The text must be double spaced but the table may be single-spaced.
   6. You must cite all your sources of information using APA formatting.
   7. Create a separate reference page that lists all of the sources that you have cited in the text. Sources include software used. Also, personal communications from a professional in the field count as a reference source.
