IMPLEMENTATION OF VACATION POLICY1
This research paper aims to focus on the implementation of company policies
regarding vacation leave and vacation pay. There are four specific items that will address the
vacation leave and pay in making company policies in the jurisdictions of Manitoba, Prince
Edward Island and Yukon, they are as follows –
Time Served in the Organization – In Manitoba and Yukon, the employees working for an
organization for an entire year is qualified to have 2 weeks of vacation leave, whereas
employees working over five years can avail 3 weeks. But in Prince Edward Island,
employees can avail 3 weeks of paid leaves only after 8 years of service (Hilbrecht and Smale
2016).
Time of get away – The labour laws in the jurisdictions of Manitoba, Prince Edward Island
and Yukon differs in many aspects. Therefore, the employees in Manitoba and Prince Edward
Island can avail consecutive 8 days of paid leaves, but in Yukon the employees get
consecutive 9 days of paid leaves, which is one more day compared to the others (Macdonald
et al. 2015).
Percentage of compensation – Employees working less than 8 years in an organization is
compensated with 4% of their gross wages if not taken any vacation leave at the end of the
year. Whereas, the employees in service more than 8 years can have a compensation of 6%.
The course of events – Employees in these jurisdictions can avail the vacation leaves in the
end of a year or at the beginning. Also, the vacation leaves are subjected to have a difference
of at least 4 months.
After assessing all of these information, I would like to recommend to the Payroll
Supervisor and Human Resource Manager of an Organic Food Supplier Company to revise
the working period of 8 years to 6 years as well as make the compensation 5% for all the
jurisdictions. Therefore, it will create more sustainable vacation leave policy as well as cost
