Sick leave

Sick leave is available for periods when you are unable to perform your regular work duties due to illness or an accident.

While on sick leave, you are entitled to 100% of your full pay and benefits for up to the total of accrued sick leave. You may accrue an equivalent of one (1) work day for each term of employment.

Conditions

To benefit from sick leave, you must meet the following conditions:

  • Advise your supervisor at the beginning of the absence. Should you work shifts, advise your supervisor at least two (2) hours before the beginning of your shift.
  • Should you be absent for three (3) working days or more, you must submit a medical note to the Health and Wellness sector of Human Resources.

Medical examination

At any time during your sick leave, the University may require that you undergo an independent medical examination by a University-appointed doctor to determine if you are eligible for sick leave benefits. The University pays for the examination.
