I live in Alberta and work part time at a retail store. My last pay check came in and I only received one hour of stat pay for the holiday. To my previous knowledge, I thought stat pay was calculated by the average of the 5 of 9 rule.

For example Christmas was on a Wednesday and I worked all 9 Wednesday before that with a total of 49 hours. Averaging 5.4 hours.

When I asked my managers about how stat pay works, they said that people who work on the holiday get time and a half, and everyone who doesn’t gets one hour of stat pay.

So here are my questions. Am I incorrect, or are they wrong? How does it work? If I’m right, how do I go about fixing it?

Thanks
