ESA leaves

By Cristina Lavecchia | 7 Minutes Read June 24, 2016

Addressing the effect that two new proposed Ontario statutory leaves may have on your organization #learnthelatest

First Reference Talks readers and 2016 Employment Law Conference attendees were introduced to two new proposed leaves in Ontario, Employee Leave of Absence When Child Dies and Domestic and Sexual Violence Workplace Leave. In order to get a further grasp on what the two new proposed leaves would mean for employers, I went to employment law lawyer Frank Portman of Stringer LLP to ask a few questions I thought our readers would want answers to.

More time, more money: New, unique Employment Standards Act leaves proposed by legislature #learnthelatest

There are currently two Bills before the Ontario legislature which would designate new leaves under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 ("ESA"). Outside of introducing the new leaves and obligations on employers, these Bills could be the canary in the coalmine for further extensive increases to leave entitlements under the ESA.

Turning over a new leave: ESA amendments introduce new, significant categories of leaves

2014 saw the introduction of three new leaves protected under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (the “ESA”).  These new leaves can result in significant absences from the workplace, which will create new human resources challenges for employers.  Professionals engaged in workforce management and HR must be aware of these new obligations to employees in order to avoid accidental breaches of the ESA.
