November 11 is Remembrance Day in Canada.\u00a0\u00a0It is a solemn occasion to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.\u00a0 In Nova Scotia, Remembrance Day is legislated by the Remembrance Day Act<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We are reposting a previous entry for your information.<\/p>\n

The Remembrance Day Act<\/em> requires all companies to suspend operations, for three full minutes, starting at one minute before eleven o\u2019clock in the forenoon on Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

Remembrance Day is not a Holiday in Nova Scotia but commercial activities are curtailed.\u00a0 Having said this, there are a number of industries where it is not possible to cease operations, for example health care, police services, transport, service stations.\u00a0 Section 4 of the Act provides the list of exemptions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that employees who do not work on Remembrance Day do not get paid unless the employer gratuitously offered to add Remembrance Day as a benefit.\u00a0 For employees required to work on Remembrance Day, the employer will grant a holiday with pay with their annual vacation or at another time mutually agreed between the employee and the employer.<\/p>\n
