I wish we could close on holidays but the nature of our business says no. The only days we insist on closing are 12/25 and 01/01. Our entry level position is $7.50 per hour and our top workers get $17.00+ per hour. Work out the math on how much we take it up the ... on holidays.

I have no problem with REAL time and half (I'm Canadian after all and grew up with it) and no problem with pay for holidays but who ever came up with this legislation must be getting paid by the hour.

I hate to say "where I come from" but they have very liberal laws in regards to labour:
