Our org pays less than competitors for same US role & contract. New leave policy denies lieu day for Canadian holidays if US holiday is within 90 days. My lieu day request was rejected citing low productivity, despite average performance. I seek guidance on this policy.

Thank you for your question. Public holidays and vacation entitlements are governed in Ontario by the Employment Standards Act. Please see the following link for more information: https://www.ontario.ca/document/employment-standard-act-policy-and-interpretation-manual/part-x-public-holidays
