The leap year requires millions of Canadians to volunteer this Thursday, February 29th.
In fact, many Canadians receive an annual salary. “Let’s think about leaders, managers, everyone who has more responsibilities than tasks. It is a form of payment that is very, very widespread,” recalled Annie Boilard, human resources specialist and president of the Annie RH network, in conversation with Benoit Dutrizac on QUB radio on Monday.
“On February 29, they will be volunteering if they did not provide for it in their agreement,” she added.
However, things seem to be changing in the workplace.
“When it comes to salary, nothing commits to anything, but it is becoming more common practice for managers to offer something to employees. “Some companies offer their employees a free dinner, others allow them to take a few hours of additional vacation,” says Ms. Boilard as an example.
