Ontario RN Holiday Pay

[Muskoka RN]

Hey guys! I am a newly graduated RN. I literally had my first day today. I am working this easter weekend and I was curious if anyone knew how my holiday pay is going to work out? Or if I even get any because I am so new? OR do I have to work the Monday April 5th to get "holiday" pay.

There is variety among the different hospitals in Ontario and one of the factors to consider is if you work in an ONA hospital or not....take a look at the "collective agreement" and the "local provisions" for your hospital if you do and it outlines how you get paid (e.g. time and a half if you work the actual holiday, Lieu days if you work 8 hour shifts, DDNN rotation usually have "H" days which are 8 hour days of pay which you can slot into your pay schedule.) But you should ask the people you work with because there can be a lot of differences and they can show you the ropes to make sure you get paid correctly. Hope this helps a bit!:)

Thanks a lot! I will ask around tomorrow! I was too shy today. My mentor for the new grad initiative was sick. So i got passed around. I am definitely in a ONA hospital because I signed that today. I looked everywhere and I found that as long as I am under Article 15.02 of the collective agreement I will get some sort of holiday pay but I couldnt find anything on what article 15.02 pertains too... I am on a rotation that gives me every second weekend sort of thing if that helps.
