Childcare Leave Every employee who has served the Company for at least three months and who has a child below the age of seven (7) years shall be entitled to the prescribed number of days of paid childcare leave in a year in accordance with the relevant provisions in the Children Development Co-Savings Act or the Employment Act, as the case may be.

Unpaid Leave - Affecting Seniority and Benefits Any employee granted unpaid leave of absence totalling up to twenty (20) working days in any year shall continue to accumulate seniority and all benefits and shall return to her/his former job and increment step. If an unpaid leave of absence or an accumulation of unpaid leaves of absence exceeds twenty (20) working days in any year, the employee shall not accumulate benefits from the twenty-first (21st) day of the unpaid leave to the last day of the unpaid leave but shall accumulate benefits and receive credit for previously earned benefits upon expiration of the unpaid leave.
Extended Unpaid Leave Upon written request, a permanent employee who has completed two (2) years of service shall be granted unpaid leave to a maximum of twelve (12) months, subject to the operational requirements of the Employer's operations and the availability of qualified replacement staff. An employee shall be entitled to up to a maximum of twelve (12) months unpaid leave for each two (2) years of service with the understanding that no employee can have more than twelve (12) consecutive months of unpaid leave at any one time. While on such leave employees shall continue to accumulate service, unless they would have been otherwise laid off, for seniority purposes only. The minimum amount of unpaid leave an employee may have under this Clause is eight (8) weeks. An employee will not be granted extended unpaid leave to take another position with the same Employer whether inside or outside a bargaining unit.
Care Leave Employees will be granted up to twenty-eight (28) hours leave in each calendar year for the purpose of providing or arranging for unexpected care for the employee’s spouse, dependent or parent(s), or to accompany them to obtain unexpected medical care. Fifty percent (50%) of the leave granted under this clause (up to 14 hours) shall be provided by the Employer as paid leave. The remaining fifty percent (50%) (up to 14 hours) will be contributed by the employee from the employee’s accrued leave entitlements (if any). If the employee has no accrued leave entitlement the employee will take her portion of the leave as unpaid leave. In each case where leave is granted, fifty percent (50%) of the leave will be paid for by the Employer (to a maximum of 14 hours) and fifty percent (50%) by the employee, as per the preceding paragraph. Care leave will include all purposes under Section 50(1) paragraph 2 & 3 of the Employment Standards Act, 2000. Employees accrue seniority and service while on such leave. To clarify, this article, and other clauses in the current agreement that provide for paid or unpaid leaves for purposes under the new ESA provisions, will be deemed to offset the requirement for the Employer to provide for ten days of unpaid leave to the extent that the Care Leave clause, and other leave clauses are accessed during the course of a year.
