Why be paid for stats?

[Rachael]

Rachael, just curious, do you not get Victoria Day as well in May?

Victoria Day is not a Stat holiday in NS but many people are given the day off and are paid for it - and I include it as one of my closure days. But it is not an official stat day here. - I think it is in NB but not here.

To me it isn't a question of why. My contract states each specific paid day off I take so regardless of what everyone else does, employed or otherwise, this is what works for me

YES!
