Alberta > Employment Law > Vacations & Vacation Pay:

How is vacation pay calculated if you are paid by commission or other incentive-based pay?

If you are taking two weeks vacation, vacation pay is four percent of wages earned between your vacation anniversary dates in the previous year. For example, if your vacation year is from January 1st until December 31st and you are taking a vacation in 2007, your vacation pay will be four percent of your wages between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006.

If you are taking three weeks vacation, vacation pay is six percent of wages earned between your vacation anniversary dates in the previous year. For example, if your vacation year is from January 1st until December 31st and you are taking a vacation in 2007, your vacation pay will be six percent of your wages between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006.
