AP 3.18 Sick Leave Policy Update

Changes to Employment Standards Act (ESA) – 5 Paid Sick Days

The BC government has amended the Employment Standards Act (ESA) to expand the availability of paid personal illness or injury leave to cover all employees, including casual employees, after 90 consecutive days of employment. The amendments became effective March 31, 2022 and a notice went out on the Menno Place HR Bulletin Vol. 2022.06 on April 12, 2022.

In order to stay well-informed, the Sick Leave Policy will be assigned to you through a link from Surge Learning in the next few weeks. Please read and sign off on this policy so you are well aware of the new regulations.

Thank you.
