New Leaves to Help Families proposed for the ESA

On March 5th, 2013, the Ontario government announced that it will be seeking to pass legislation that would create three new job-protected leaves. If passed, the proposed Employment Standards Amendment Act (Leaves to Help Families), 2013 will create:

• Family Caregiver Leave: up to 8 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for employees to provide care and support to a family member with a serious medical condition.
• Critically Ill Child Care Leave: up to 37 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave to provide care to a critically ill child.
• Crime-Related Child Death and Disappearance Leave: up to 52 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for parents of a missing child and up to 104 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave for parents of a child that has died as a result of a crime.

The proposed leaves would be would be separate from the current Family Medical Leave, which is available when a family member has a serious medical condition with a significant risk of death occurring within 26 weeks. The proposed legislation would require a doctor’s note to be provided to qualify for Family Caregiver Leave and Critically Ill Child Care Leave. The Critically Ill Child Care Leave and Crime-Related Child Death and Disappearance Leave would complement new benefits created under the federal Helping Families in Need Act.
The legislative proposals highlight an increasing public focus on protecting jobs for care-givers and recognizing the importance of family/family obligations in the context of the workplace.

  24. Thank you for your sharing. I am worried that I lack creative ideas. It is your article that makes me full of hope. Thank you. But, I have a question, can you help me?

  25. After I originally commented I appear to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every time a comment is added I recieve four emails with the same comment. Is there an easy method you can remove me from that service? Cheers.

  26. I precisely desired to thank you very much again. I do not know the things that I would have handled in the absence of the entire creative concepts revealed by you directly on this area. It was actually a difficult dilemma for me, but seeing the professional form you resolved that took me to jump over happiness. Extremely grateful for this help and have high hopes you know what a great job that you’re providing training most people by way of your blog post. Most likely you haven’t encountered all of us.

If you are looking for a reliable shuttle service in Los Angeles, I recommend it! Checked personally!
