    We are a seasonal construction company based in Manitoba that builds grain bin silos on farms. We are having trouble determining where we fit under Employment standards in Manitoba. I’m reading we don’t fall under any Heavy or ICI construction – but am not sure if we would fall under agriculture as agriculture services to a farm?
    What I am specifically looking for is, details on general holiday pay, and how many hours per week are considered regular time ( In heavy construction, for example, I believe its 50hrs/week). I’m finding it tricky to find my answers due to us being seasonal, working on farms, and also being a construction company. So, I’ll take any knowledge you have regarding our situation! Thanks!!

    We consulted with the Manitoba employment standards and were told that you would fall under the regulations pertaining to agricultural services.
    Here is the summary applicable to you – https://www.gov.mb.ca/labour/standards/doc,guide-agriculture,factsheet.pdf
