Closing on Canada Day. - TanToday - Helping Salon Owners, One At A Time, Since 2000!

I might as well post it. Canada day being a Sunday this year, what are your plans for business hours?

We are closing Sunday, but normal hours on Monday. Much will be closed on Monday, so I think it will be a busy day.

But Sunday, people are busy doing family stuff along with Canada day.

Thoughts?

same here (quebec ) close sunday open monday.

I'm closing Sunday and Monday as it's the first long weekend of the summer and everyone is away. Always a slow day. Why not have a long weekend to ourselves too.

We are not a necessity like a grocery or variety store....so why not close for 2 days.

during the summer holidays, i close for 2 days.....during the season i close just the day of.

we will be closed on sunday and shortened hours on monday. THe day after is usually a good day for sales.

Din you lier. You told me that the purpose of closing is because you want people to tan at other salons in the area so they can see how much better you are so they can be more loyal to you...

Ziti · 29th June 2007, 02:01 PM

Yeah, what ^^^ said. Take a break.
Since our holiday falls on Wed. the 4th, I will only close that day.

I like it better when it falls on Sun or Mon.

Monday is being considered the stat. Open Monday and you will have to pay your employees the premium pay rates for working on the Stat. As I understand it.

No, if you are open 7 days a week, then Sunday can be your stat unless you choose Monday.

I choose Sunday to be closed so Monday, pay is regular. (Because I am always open 7 days)

But if you were normally open Monday to Saturday, Monday would have to be your stat and you would have to pay 1.5 (unless you closed on Monday) time.

I checked into it.

interesting natureboy, I wonder if thats the same for B.C.

Natureboy · 2nd July 2007, 05:54 PM

Should be the same for all of Canada I would think. It would not be fair any other way. I know here in SK we have to pay them for Sunday, even though we are closed. It is some sort of average.

A bit late for this but in Ontario: Many employees will get the day off with public holiday pay on Canada Day on Monday, July 2, 2007. Canada Day is one of eight public holidays under Ontario’s Employment Standards Act, 2000.
Canada Day is usually on July 1, but if July 1 falls on a Sunday, as it does this year, Canada Day is July 2 as stipulated by the federal Holidays Act.
