Jurisdictions: the official figures for 2026
The jurisdictions block of the data file holds 127 loose figures and 77 tables with 325 rows, split across 14 pages, one per jurisdiction. Each figure carries the statute it comes from, when it took effect and how far it has been verified.

It is part of official figures, the full registry of the site. The raw data is in legal-data-2026.json. If you find a figure that is wrong, tell us.
What this block holds
This block is the jurisdiction half of the site's registry. It splits the data file into 14 pages: one for each of the 13 provinces and territories, and one for federally regulated workplaces. Together they hold 124 loose figures and 77 tables with 324 rows. Every jurisdiction figure the site quotes lives on one of them.
Alongside its value, each figure records three things: the statute and section it comes from, the date it took effect where the data file records one, and how far it has been checked. The whole block was last updated on September 5, 2026. None of these figures is indexed. A notice schedule or a holiday list stays put until the statute behind it is amended. Changes are logged on the list of site updates.
How to read the table
This directory doesn't print figures. Each line names a jurisdiction, its key in the data file and a count. The Yukon line, for instance, reads jurisdictions.yukon, eight loose figures and six tables with 31 rows. Each page has a loose-figures table with the columns Figure, Value, Source, Validity and Status, plus row tables such as a notice schedule you look up by years of service.
Status is the column to watch. Verified means the figure was read in the statute itself. Secondary source means the figure was worked out from official numbers and the arithmetic is printed. Not yet verified means it isn't confirmed and no other page uses it as a firm number. The figures are inputs. Your service, your wages and how the job ended decide what you get.
Where the site uses these figures
Each jurisdiction has its own page because each statute is different: the qualifying period, the holiday word and the final pay clock vary from one statute to the next. For the whole registry, start at all official figures and their sources. Three examples: the Ontario figures, the largest set with 14 loose figures, the figures for federally regulated workplaces and the British Columbia figures. The termination pay calculator draws on these pages, and how each figure is checked explains the statuses in full.
