Yukon Overtime Rules
Yukon pays overtime after 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week, whichever gives the greater entitlement, at 1.5x the regular wage. This daily-and-weekly structure is set by the territorial Employment Standards Act, not the 44-hour week used by larger provinces.
- 1.5x pay after 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week — Yukon applies whichever threshold produces the greater overtime entitlement.
- Because Yukon counts daily hours, a single long shift can trigger overtime even when the weekly total stays under 40 hours.
- Managers, supervisors, and certain professionals can be excluded from overtime under the Employment Standards Act.
Yukon is one of three Canadian territories that use the 8-hour-day / 40-hour-week overtime structure rather than the 44-hour week common in Ontario and Alberta.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The weekly overtime threshold differs by province (40, 44, or 48 hours), and some provinces such as British Columbia add daily overtime. In Yukon, overtime starts after 40 hours a week or 8 hours a day.
Most employees are covered by their province’s employment standards. Workers in federally regulated sectors — banks, airlines, interprovincial transport, telecom — follow the federal Canada Labour Code instead, which uses 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week.
Managers and supervisors, and certain professionals, are commonly exempt from overtime. The exact exemptions vary by province, so check your provincial employment standards.
