Holiday Dates
If your company pays extra for employees working on holidays, you may need to enter the
holiday dates into your time-and-attendance system. This would be the case if you have
- a computerized stand-alone calculating time recorder (like an MJR-7000 or MJR-8000), or
- a Windows-based program that runs on your computer (like PayClock-EZ or TruTime).
Maybe you just want to figure out the best time to take your vacation -- get the most
time off while "using" the smallest number of days!

Note 1: Easter
"In Canada, Easter is a moveable holiday defined in the 1750 legislation 'An Act
for regulating the Commencement of the Year, and for correcting the
Calendar now in use' (24 Geo. 2 c. 23). The commonly stated rule, that
Easter Day is the first Sunday after the Full Moon that occurs next after the
vernal equinox, is somewhat misleading because it is not a precise statement of
the Act. Easter is determined by the 'ecclesiastical moon' defined by tables,
which differ somewhat from the real Moon. In addition, the vernal equinox is
fixed at March 21, not by the actual position of the sun.
"The dates of Easter given here are from the Act, the common date used historically
by the western Christian churches since the adoption of the Gregorian calendar."
