How much time off is an employee entitled to in order to look after a sick family member?
However, both employers and employees must be mindful of the fact that while Personal Emergency Leave was expanded as a result of Bill 148, and then removed as a result of Bill 47, there are several other forms of protected leave including:
- Pregnancy Leave [sections 46 – 47 of the ESA]
- Parental Leave [sections 48 - 49]
- Family Medical Leave [section 49.1]
