Does anyone know if Alberta farms are required to pay their employees vacation pay? It looks like we are not required to do so based on the info I found elsewhere online, but some discussion came up today regarding this issue @ my agexpert training.
Hey Danielle, I just heard back from the Alberta Labour Standards people. Currently farms are still exempt but the government is enacting changes to legislation as we speak to change that exemption. From what I can see, farm employees will be entitled to vacation pay starting in the Spring of 2016. You can find out more information about proposed changes at http://work.alberta.ca/farm...
