Paid sick-days based on calendar year, province says
Employers have a little more clarity about the new requirement for five days of paid sick leave. On Monday, BC’s Labour Minister Harry Bains said the requirement is for every “calendar year” of employment, regardless of an employee’s start date.
As well, the government amended language relating to collective agreements so that no employees are excluded.
The Chamber continues to collect feedback from the business community about the introduction of paid-sick days in BC. Let us know your experiences to help inform our advocacy efforts by emailing communications@victoriachamber.ca.
