wongrs Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 somebody told me that there's a City of Calgary bylaw forcing employers to give people 4 hours off on Friday and most employers just give the whole day. Is this true? Quote
cdock Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Not true. Absolutely not. But if it is true please let my boss know. Quote
birchy Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Not true. Absolutely not. But if it is true please let my boss know. You tell Dale I said to "smarten up!" Quote
fishfreak Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 That is only for people who work in downtown due to the Stampede Parade in the morning. Some employers give the whole day, but not all. Not true. Absolutely not. But if it is true please let my boss know. Quote
reevesr1 Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Oh that makes sense. I wish I worked downtown. Yeah, gotta love the traffic and $25.00 per day parking. We get 1/2 a day. I still have to be here as my daughter is in the parade. Proud dad stuff to do! Quote
trailhead Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 And also if you work for the City, even if you are not downtown, except for essential services. Quote
vhawk12 Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 We only work half day fridays and since the parade is in the morning, we get that off so it turns into a whole day. I'm planning on hitting the Bow after I drop the wife off at Mount Royal at 7:30. So it's a 3-day week for me...2 long weekends in a row, and of course, next week is Stampede Vacation (at work but not AT work if you know what I mean) Hey rickr, you forgot the $15/day lunches too (before tip) Quote
Nick0Danger Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 My employer will give the 4 hours (we don't work downtown). But we have an AGM to attend, which is optional but we get breakfast and BBQ with Beer after so i think ill go and take the 8 hours Quote
vhawk12 Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Yeh our office is closed for the whole day. you headin' to the Bow on fri then? Quote
KingSalmon Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Man, I wish I worked in Calgary...sounds like a sweet deal lol Quote
wongrs Posted July 5, 2007 Author Posted July 5, 2007 i work in downtown but no time off.....dang! Quote
LynnF Posted July 5, 2007 Posted July 5, 2007 Sorry dudes....I work downtown and I have the whole day off. An extra day for cutthroat torture down south. Yee friggin' haw. God I hate the Stampede. Quote
