Despite the uncertainty of the last few months, the Canadian economy is finally reopening and employees are returning to work. Tune in to the Canadian Employment and Labour Law podcast, where your host Alison Walsh sits down with Stephanie Lewis to discuss paid sick leave for Canadian workers.

In this episode, we cover provincial unpaid job-protected leaves, the recent federal government announcements granting workers across Canada 10 paid sick days per year, and the challenges in implementing a national paid sick leave program.

If you have any questions regarding the content of this podcast, please contact Alison or Stephanie.
