Rubin Thomlinson LLP partners Janice Rubin and Christine Thomlinson discuss Pregnancy and Parental Leave in Ontario. While this is an unpaid leave, most employees will be eligible to collect Employment Insurance. In some cases, employers offer a top-up to EI benefits.
Following the leave, the employee has the right to be reinstated in their pre-leave position. If that position no longer exists, the employee should be reinstated in a comparable position. If a comparable position does not exist, the employment relationship may come to an end.
