Hi everyone,

I’m an international student in Canada and here is my question . I was not scheduled to work on Monday, but since it was a public holiday(Labour day ), I received statutory holiday pay for 7.30 hours, but I’m concerned about whether this affects my work hour limits.

Here’s a breakdown:

  • Actual Work Hours: 17 hours (Tuesday and Wednesday)
  • Statutory Holiday Pay: 7.30 hours (for Monday)
Given that international students can work up to 20 hours per week during regular academic sessions, does the statutory holiday pay count towards my work hour limit?

You are fine.
