2025 Dates for the construction holiday weeks and paid holidays
Well deserved construction holidays!
To maintain solid strength and nerves of steel, construction workers get 4 weeks of paid vacation and paid holidays. When sites close for breaks, it’s time to recharge your battery and spend quality time with your family and friends.
Here are the dates of the construction holiday weeks and paid holidays as defined in the 2023-2025 collective agreements:
Construction 2025 summer vacation: July 20 at 12:01 a.m. to Saturday, August 2 at midnight.
- Labour Day: Monday, September 1, 2025
- Thanksgiving Day: Monday, October 13, 2025
- Remembrance Day: Monday, November 10, 2025
Weeks of the winter construction holiday: December 21, 2025, to January 3 at midnight, 2026.
The dates of statutory holidays for the years 2026 to 2029 will be published soon.
When do you receive your vacation pay?
Every month, employers transfer the amounts for annual mandatory holidays and sick leave set out in the collective agreements to the CCQ. It represents 13% of the pay workers earn each workweek.
Amounts for vacations and holidays are paid at the end of the months of June and November.
