Vacation + Holidays

Employment with CommunityPlus Updated March 31, 2026

Vacation & Holidays

CommunityPlus provides an industry leading Vacation and Paid Time Off (PTO) policy.

Employees start with 2 week (4%) PTO accrual.
PTO increases by half a week (1%) every 2000 hours worked; roughly 1 year working full-time.
PTO maxes out at 6 weeks (12%) after 16000 hours worked which is roughly 8 years working full-time.

Please note, our healthy PTO entitlements are meant to cover the range of life’s needs including bereavement, personal days, other types of absence.

Employees who no longer contribute to CPP qualify for an additional 2% PTO retiree bonus.
Employees who don’t use their sick entitlement can qualify for an additional 2% PTO increase.

CommunityPlus recognizes Federal and Provincial statutory holidays and we also pay holiday rates for Halloween Evening from 1600 to midnight, Christmas Evening from 1600 to midnight and Double-Time on Christmas with no added charge to clients. Average Day Pay is paid as a regular 5% wage addition. Employees with CommunityPlus sign averaging agreements and always receive Average Day Pay regardless of the normal qualification requirements.

Pro-tip: Most private organizations do not provide more than the legislated minimum Paid Time Off which maxes out at 3 weeks PTO (6%) after 5 years of consecutive employment. After 5 years of full-time employment our employees are at 4.5 weeks PTO (9%) plus any Bonus PTO they are earning.
