I was hired full time by a Canadian Company at an Ottawa Office in 2008 and they closed the office during covid. I never received a document specifying the new arrangements of Working from home as a virtual employee. My statutory holidays always followed the Ontario Statutory holidays. I have always lived in the Province of Quebec within the Ottawa area during Employment with this company. Quebec taxes have never deducted from my paycheck. This year they have placed me on the Quebec Statutory holiday schedule without any communication. I discovered it when entering my time sheet electronically and as a result was forced to take a vacation for family day on February 17th. Can they just make this change without communication? What are my rights and how can I rectify this with my employer.

Since you now work and reside in Quebec 100% of the time, you are subject to Quebec taxation/employment laws. The company would not need your consent for this change since they are required by law to comply with the Quebec employment and taxation laws as they pertain to your employment.
