It’s that time of year again – holiday schedules, year-end prep, payroll deadlines, and plenty of celebrations in between! We know there’s lots to keep track of over the next few weeks, and just like your team’s, our office hours will be shifting a bit to accommodate the upcoming statutory holidays.

To help you plan ahead, we’ve rounded up our 2025–2026 office hours below so you’ll know exactly when we’ll be here to help keep things running smoothly through the holiday season and into the new year.
