New paid sick leave rules coming into effect for federally regulated workers
OTTAWA — Employees in federally regulated private-sector workplaces are now eligible for 10 days of paid sick leave.
As of Dec. 31, workers who have been continuously employed for at least 30 days will have access to three paid sick days.
Workers will then get a fourth sick day as of Feb. 1, and will accumulate one additional day at the start of every month up to a maximum of 10 days per year.
On the campaign trail in 2021, the Liberals pledged to introduce 10 days of paid sick leave for federally regulated workers.
