Sick Leave platforms
Here's what the 2021 Canadian election parties are promising.We don't have any Conservative policies on Sick Leave.
We don't have any Bloc policies on Sick Leave.
NDP
- Work with the provinces to bring in permanent, country-wide access to paid sick days, with full income replacement, & reimbursed to employers.
- Keep the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit in place until all Canadians have access to paid sick days.
- Immediately legislate 10 paid sick days for federally-regulated workplaces.
New Democrats will work with the provinces to update federal standards and bring in a permanent safety net of paid sick leave across the country, and to close the gap until every worker has access to paid sick days, we will fix the Canada Recovery Sickness Benefit and keep it going until all Canadians have access to paid sick days.
We’ll allow sick leave to be taken by workers one or two days at a time, give full income replacement to workers who are sick, and reimburse employers instead of putting the onus on workers to apply for the program. Unlike the Liberals, we’ll move immediately to legislate 10 paid sick days in the Canada Labour Code for federally regulated workplaces.
