It’s that time of year again – holiday [schedules](https://www.payworks.ca/solutions/time-management), [year-end prep](https://blog.payworks.ca/streamline-year-end-processing-with-an-interactive10-step-checklist?hsLang=en-ca), [payroll deadlines](https://blog.payworks.ca/mark-your-calendar-important-payroll-processing-and-delivery-dates-for-the-next-few-weeks?hsLang=en-ca), 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](https://blog.payworks.ca/when-is-an-employee-eligible-for-stat-holiday-pay-asked-and-answered-0?hsLang=en-ca).
