Easter stats.

[Emma H]

I live in Ontario and in my contract I took off good Friday and Easter Monday. No one has said anything yet but I don't think they realized that it's not a stat holiday for everyone. Would you advise that I tell parents that I am open or keep it the way it is?

What I have in my contract is not "Paid Stat Days off" but "Paid days off". That means if I choose to take additional days off with pay, and name them in my contract and the parents sign to agree to them, it doesn't matter if it is a Stat holiday or not. I take Easter Monday off with pay because it is a named paid day off. It is however not a Stat holiday in Ontario. Easter Monday is actually in observation of Easter Sunday. Some people choose to close with pay on Xmas Eve, it doesn't matter if its a stat or not if its in the contract and upon signing up the parents have signed in agreement. You should have all of your closed paid and unpaid days specified in your contract so parents are clear and it doesn't have to be brought up again because it is clearly stated their and they have read it.
