Input Needed on Paid Sick Leave
Government is developing paid sick leave for employees in B.C., so they are able to stay home when sick or injured, without losing wages, for a set number of days each year. The new model will come into effect on January 1, 2022.
They are seeking input from workers and employers on their current paid sick leave programs and on what they would like to see in a province-wide model.
Engagement timeline
Surveys will be open from August 5 to September 14, 2021
How to participate
In the first phase of this engagement, we are seeking information from employers and workers about what paid sick leave they currently have in their workplaces and what improvements could be made.
There are two surveys – one for employers and one for workers. Please complete the survey that best applies to you.
