Boxing Day 2020 - Do we get Monday off instead?

Goverment and most banks yes .

Where I work is giving us the Monday off, and they don't usually go beyond the required minimum. I'm also in Ontario... I believe (not a lawyer) they either need to give you a day off or give you "holiday pay".

Believe it or not, but only in Ontario is Boxing Day an actual Statutory Holiday. In the Rest of Canada it is what's in your Employment Agreement that states whether or not you get a holiday. Government union contracts include Boxing Day as one of their Statutory Holidays.

If it falls on a weekend, you get the day off on your next regular work day.

Thanks for the answers everyone. Work made it hard to find out but it looks like everyone here who said we get Monday off is correct.

I had no idea, interesting and thanks for sharing.

I'm from the province of Quebec and because Boxing Day occurs on Saturday this year, we are given Monday off because of it in our work calendar (that being said, where I work we are closed until January 4 and we generally don't work from Christmas Day to January 1).

Also in Quebec, Boxing Day isn't recognized as a statutory holiday but in the places that I've worked for the last 25 years or so, I've always gotten Boxing Day off (not by my choice).

Now to make it more fun, the August Civic Holiday is not a statutory holiday in Ontario, given the name it's a civic holiday. Most employers seem to give it, but I've had one employer in the past that suddenly realized it wasn't required and stopped providing Civic Holiday off.

Family Day in Ontario also isn't a stat for federally regulated industries unless specified in a company policy or collective agreement. At my workplace we have to use a sick day or banked overtime if we want pay for it. Interestingly, we also don't get Remembrance Day even though we are federally regulated. But we get Ontario Civic Day. Each November, the discussion comes up that we should get Nov 11, and management says "OK, do you want to give up Civic day in exchange?" No one ever wants to go for that. Honouring the veterans is only important until it might cost a summer long weekend I guess.
