Alberta > Employment Law > General Holidays & General Holiday Pay:

I usually work in a restaurant from Monday to Thursday. My boss has asked me to come in this Friday, which is a general holiday. How much will I get paid?

As a basic minimum, the law requires that you be paid one and a half times your wage rate for every hour you work. This is because you are working on a general holiday on a day that you would not normally work.
