Vacation time in Canada

My holiday pay is 4% of gross and payed every two weeks. It bumps up the net pay so it looks like you are better paid than you are. I got nothing for the weeks vacation I just had. Just a little trick to cover up the poor rate of pay. But I take as much time off as I want because the company is always short of drivers; mainly because they pay so bad and will give anyone a job.

Why do you still work there if they’re so bad ?

I get good miles. I earn more than I did at my last job, where the cents per mile were 7 cents more. I have a reliable truck. The work is easy. The trips are nice and long. The office leaves me alone to get on with the job. I’ve only got another year before I retire and this lot will be good for some part-time work if I need it. So they do have their good points.

Fair comment Chris , whatever works and suits . Good for you fella
