Hi guys, I'm wondering if paid holidays are counted towards 1 year experience. My salary is paid by the hours that I work. Let's say for the Christmas period, I had 1 or 2 days off, I was paid for those days, but on my pay stub it only showed the dollar amount paid for the holiday and not the hours. So do I include those days in my calculation? And by how many hours? My actual worked hours were less than 30h/week for that period, so if the holidays are counted, it would make a difference to my calculation. Thank you!

Thank you for the link. But the only related thing I found is about 2 weeks vacation time, which I don't have, I do receive vacation pay though. Nothing about paid holidays, or I might have missed it, please point out the section that I should be looking at. Thank you.
And if it is included, shall I take the dollar amount and divide it by my hourly rate and add it to the week of the holiday?
My paystubs include vacation time as hours. When I calculated my hours, I looked through all my paystubs and counted all the hours, I had 1571 hours before I create my express entry profile. I had even more hours by the time I got my ITA. I only counted 30 hrs/week even though I work 40 hrs/week.
Mine is calculated either by % (for vacation pay) or by $$ amount (public holiday pay), so I don't know how to to convert that into hours. Usually I'm not too concerned about hours as my weekly hours are more than 30. But on some weeks I work less than 30 and the statutory holidays really make a difference.
