  • Mandate 10 paid sick days for all workers

    "We’ll ensure that all Newfoundlanders and Labradorians have access to 10 paid sick days – so that when you’re sick, you can take the time off without worrying about making ends meet at the end of the month." — A Better Deal for People in Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-09-27

  • Get rid of sick notes

    "We’ll reduce the administrative burden for family doctors, starting by getting rid of sick notes – ensuring doctors spend more of their time seeing patients rather than filling out paperwork." — A Better Deal for People in Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-09-27

  • Increase the Income Replacement Rate of Workers' Compensation for injured workers from 85% to 90%
