Leave for Reservists. 18.13 The maintenance of employee benefit plans during a leave of absence for which there is no pay shall be conditional upon the by-laws of the plans concerned and upon payment of the full cost by the employee.
Leave for Reservists. Employees, who are members of the Canadian Forces Reserves and have been employed for at least seven (7) consecutive months may be absent from work for the purpose of service (active and/or training), qualify for Leave for Reservists. Employees may take unpaid leave for as long as they continue to serve. There is no restriction on the length or how often a Reservist can go on the unpaid leave. At the end of an employee’s leave under this sub-article, the Employer shall reinstate the employee to the position the employee occupied when the leave began or to a comparable position, with no less wage and any other benefits earned by the employee immediately before the leave began. Employees who take leave from their employment for the purpose of service must be reinstated to the position, or a similar position with no loss of seniority, no less wages, or benefits they had before the leave. Employees cannot be terminated or laid off for taking this leave. Employees must provide as much notice as reasonable and practicable in the circumstances for this leave. The Employer may request a certificate from an official in the Reserves confirming the employee is a member of the Reserves, is required for service, and where possible, the start and end dates for the period of service. The employee shall provide at least two (2) weeks’ notice of their return to work date.
