- Professionals can bank overtime on a 1:1 basis, technologists/technicians get time and a half overtime, again switching to salary at management level.

Yeah, as with any government regulations/laws, your employer can establish their own rules that are more generous than what's in the code but they can't take away rights that are in the employment standards code.
Vacation entitlement is a perfect example of that. In the code, your employer must give you 2 weeks of vacation after the first year of employment and 3 weeks after 5 years. Today, in Calgary, a lot of companies are going to start at 3 weeks, and many are even starting at 4.
