Sick leave
Sick leave is available for periods when you are unable to perform your regular work duties due to illness or an accident.
You accumulate two and a half (2.5) hours of paid sick leave for each quarter of a Full Appointment. Unused sick leave may be accumulated up to a maximum of 38 hours of paid sick leave. If your period of sick leave is longer than the leave you have accumulated, the additional days you are absent are considered approved sick leave without pay.
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 more than three (3) consecutive working days, you might have to provide 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.
