Alberta > Employment Law > Contract of Employment:

When I was hired, my employer did not mention holidays. Does that mean that holidays are not in my employment contract?

It depends whether employment standards law covers your job. If it does, then by law you get a minimum number of holidays. The law treats the agreement as though it included the minimum amount set out in employment standards law.

For more information, see Alberta Human Resources and Employment.

If your job is not covered by employment standards law, you may need to discuss this with your employer.
