Family day is coming…but I don’t get paid for it. It is a provincial holiday and even though I’ve lived in this province all my life, and my employer was founded in this province, they don’t have to pay me. And therefore they won’t pay me
Why? It is some lame-ass excuse that they are federally regulated. And a lame ass excuse that will always be. I’m not some trades worker that flies around the country grabbing up every provincial holiday that is available.
I’m just an office worker. I work the same place every day of the year —Just Call Me Nova Scotia But Don’t Pay Me Nova Scotia

I get 42 days off a year in vacation (paid) and time off (paid). That excludes sick time (12 days), storm days (paid) and other forms of leave (upwards of 15 days; paid).
No one gets a day off for Family Day in Nova Scotia.
Bitching about a holiday…who’d have thought.
Yes Virginia, some people do get the day off.
It’s not called Family Day, never has been.
