I appreciate your input, and I agree with you. I do like the wording in that section though about payment not varying for weeks with stat holidays, and that is what I will go with for now. Yes, that does mean stat holidays are paid, but it doesn't call them paid holidays per se... hopefully that satisfies Revenue Canada... I probably seem a bit paranoid, but I'm a business professor in my other life... way too cautious when it comes to the authorities LOL I can't wait to have fun with little people instead of obsessing about the paperwork!
