The BC government announced on March 28, 2022 that it has introduced additional amendments to the Employment Standards Act (ESA) concerning paid sick leave. The latest amendments follow government’s initial announcement in November 2021 that it would be introducing five annual employer-paid sick days effective January 1, 2022. Details of that announcement were documented in this CSSEA Info, and follow-up information regarding application can be found in this FAQs.
The latest amendments are being introduced through Bill 19 and contain three notable changes that, upon receiving Royal Assent, will replace some advice currently dispensed by CSSEA:
The amendments will be effective upon Royal Assent, which is expected before the end of the current legislative session. CSSEA will be examining the impact and cost of these changes at the bargaining table and will provide more information should further changes be negotiated. Members can read more about Bill 19 amendments here and any employers with outstanding questions are asked to contact their HRLR Consultant or Advocate.
