Termination of Leave Interruption of pregnancy will terminate the leave. Human Resources may require in such cases forty-five (45) days’ notice to return.
Duration of Leave An eligible female employee may apply for pregnancy leave, to commence after the 22nd week of pregnancy for a duration of up to 17 weeks. The pregnancy leave of an employee who is not entitled to take parental leave ends on the later of the day that is seventeen weeks after the pregnancy leave began or the day that is six weeks after the birth, still-birth or miscarriage.
Amount of Leave Eligible employees are entitled to a total of 12 workweeks of unpaid leave during any 12-month period. As of January 2008, FMLA was amended to include a special leave entitlement that permits eligible employees to take up to 26 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a covered servicemember during a single 12-month period. No more than 26 workweeks of leave may be taken within any single 12-month period.
Extension of Leave 7 If an extension of the leave is required, a request for the extension must be 8 submitted in writing at least five (5) days in advance of the leave expiration 9 or as soon as practical. Consideration of an extension will be based on the 10 same criteria as the original request. Failure to return to work at the 11 expiration of the leave may result in termination.

7.3.2 All accrued personal leave shall be available for use as carer's leave in accordance with the provisions outlined below.
7.3.3 As part of its commitment to provide a family-friendly workplace, the employer will allow employees to use any amount of accrued personal /xxxxx's leave to enable employees to:
(a) provide primary care to partners, children and/or other household or family members.
(b) attend the funerals of family or household members or close family relatives (if compassionate leave is not available in the circumstances).
7.3.4 The leave provided for in this clause will be granted subject to the following:
(a) The employee must notify the employer of the reason and likely duration of the absence before 7.00 am on the first day of the absence, unless this is not possible due to an unexpected emergency in which case the employee must notify the employer as soon as practicable.
(b) Where circumstances permit, an employee must endeavour to arrange leave to minimise the impact on operational needs.
(c) The provision of appropriate documentary evidence.
1. For sick leave, a medical certificate or if not reasonably practicable to provide a medical certificate- a statutory declaration made by the employee.

Entitlement to Leave An employee shall be granted Workers' Compensation leave with pay in the event that the Workers' Compensation Board (WorkSafe BC) determines that the employee has established a claim (time loss benefits) and they are unable to perform their duties by reason of the compensable injury which occurred while employed by the Employer. For the purposes of this clause, pay is defined as the employee's regular take-home wages to ensure that the non-taxable status of Workers' Compensation benefits does not provide an opportunity for an injured worker to earn more while on claim than if they were working. The term claim will not include any form of WCB allowance or pension, and this section will not be operative while an employee is receiving such a different form of payment from WCB arising from this claim.
