Canadian payroll stat holidays

2023 payroll holidays

The table below shows you all of the federal and regional holidays in 2023 that may impact your payroll. Banking holidays won't impact your scheduled pay runs as we take statutory holidays into account when we calculate payroll input due dates and pay dates for you.

If you create an ad-hoc pay run, however, you'll need to adjust the dates to accommodate any bank closures. See this article to learn more: How to change an ad-hoc payroll pay date.

If your organization doesn't observe one of the below holidays, check out our article on How to remove statutory holiday pay from the input sheet.
