Taking time to rest is important for both work-life balance and a healthy workplace. When making plans for your vacation, please be aware of restrictions for return-to-work if you decide to travel outside of Canada or to other provinces.
On March 25, 2020 the Government of Canada issued an Emergency Order under the Quarantine Act that requires people returning to Canada following travel to self-isolate for a period of 14-days (with some exception).
Each province has defined regulations for travel, with many requiring self-isolation periods similar to the federal government. Please be aware of these requirements before travelling.
In light of the Emergency Order and provincial regulations, employees who chose to travel will not receive staff wages during the 14-day self-isolation period.
Employees who travel for emergency reasons, may be entitled to commence an Emergency Leave based on criteria outlined in the Employment Standards Act.
If you have travelled outside of Canada, you are required self-isolate and monitor symptoms for a period of 14 days.
If you are deemed an essential service or personnel, and not able to be replaced, you may be contacted early for support. If contacted:
