>>Not really. It's a paid national holiday for government workers (not sure about banks). When I lived in Edmonton, it was a holiday in Alberta - don't know if it still is, but on Nov. 11th, I'll be off only because it's a weekend. If it were a weekday, I'd be at work along with all the other non government staff. Government workers will have Monday off since the 11th is on a weekend.

>Sure, that's the employers choice to either give a paid day off, pay you for the 8 stat hours plus the hours you worked.

I think you're losing me. Are you talking about all employers, or only government. I don't get paid anything extra for working if veterans day falls on a weekday. It's not an official national paid holiday as far as I know.
