Charity and NFP Law Bulletin No. 385, May 25, 2016
Two Bills were recently introduced in the Ontario Legislature, which, if passed, will grant new leave of absence provisions under the Employment Standards Act, 2000 (“ESA”). Bill 175, Jonathan’s Law (Employee Leave of Absence When Child Dies), 2016, (“Jonathan’s Law”) and Bill 177, Domestic and Sexual Violence Workplace Leave, Accommodation and Training Act, 2016 (“DSVL”) were introduced on March 8, 2016. While these Bills are in the early stages of the legislative process, charities and not-for-profits will want to follow their development given their potential impact should they become law. This Charity & NFP Bulletin explores each of these Bills in their current form and discusses the potential implications to charities and not-for-profits.
