Dang. Not moving to Canada then. I thought Canada was almost kind of like the EU with working laws but I guess it’s closer to the US in that regard.
That’s a terrible system though. It almost forces you to stay with a company once you’ve started. Gives unbalanced power to the employers over the workers.
Yeah it’s pretty shit. My province only recently made it a requirement to provide a minimum of 5 paid sick days to full time staff due to COVID.
Part timers I believe only get 3 / year.
Canada is the middleman for everything on the scale of the States being far to one side of the scale and EU being the opposite side, Canada usually sits somewhere in the middle.
Man, 5 sick days wouldn’t begin to cover it for me with two kids in preschool. They get sick so often.
We get unlimited sick days as long as it’s not more than a week of consecutive illness, in which case you just need a doctor’s note I believe. Maybe there are more restrictions, but in case it’s just regular illnesses like colds and stomach flus and stuff like that, it’s fine, as those are common when you have kids.
As an example, I worked about 25 days from the beginning of October until middle of January, all due to me having colds and my kids having various spouts of illnesses, plus holiday vacation. 😅
In Canada you only get 4 weeks after you have worked for the same company/organization for ten years. You only get 3 weeks after 5 years.
Get a new job after 8 years? Start all over with 2 weeks vacation.
