SCENARIO

Your organization is an organic food supplier with employees in the following jurisdictions:

• Manitoba

• Prince Edward Island

• Yukon

The organization is planning to implement a company-wide policy with respect to vacation leave and vacation pay that provides the same benefits to all employees, regardless of their province of employment. As the Payroll Manager, provide Simone Page, the Finance Manager, with the following information:

• Identify four specific items relating to vacation leave and vacation pay that will have to be addressed in the policy to ensure compliance with the employment/labour standards in each jurisdiction.

Research the details for each of the items you have identified using the course material and the employment/labour standards website for each jurisdiction.

• Using the results of your research, provide your recommendations to Ms. Page on how to address each of these items in the policy to provide the employees with the best benefit, while keeping the cost to the organization at a minimum. Explain your reasoning.

Prepare your response using correct spelling, grammar and punctuation.

Your response must be stated in your own words and should be based on the course material, your experiences, knowledge gained through the course and at least one external government resource. Any responses taken directly from the external government resource or course material will not be accepted. Information referenced from the government resource(s) and the course material must be cited.
