111 you are employed and going
to have a baby, you're
entitled to pregnancy leave.
This is • t Ontario is doing
to ke certain you receive it.
We have a law in Ontario which permits any
pregnant woman, married or not, to take a
17 -week unpaid leave of absence to have
her baby. This law covers part-time as well
as full-time employees, provided that they
have been working for the same employer
for at least 63 weeks before the expected
date of birth.
When she returns to work, the new
mother is guaranteed the right to her former
position or to a comparable position with
no loss of seniority or benefits.
Naturally, pregnancy does not prevent an
employee from being dismissed for valid
reasons not connected with pregnancy, but
pregnancy alone cannot be the cause of
dismissal where an employee is eligible for
leave.
An expectant mother is required to give
two weeks' notice in writing of the day she
intends to leave. She is entitled to begin her
leave any time within 11 weeks -before the
baby's birth but she must take at least six
weeks of her leave afterwards. If the em-
ployer wishes the employee to begin her
leave before she wants to do so, the em-
ployer must prove that she is unable to
perform her normal duties adequately.
The employee is eligible for Unemploy-
ment Insurance benefits during her preg-
nancy leave (even if she does not intend to
resume work when her leave expires) if she
had at least 20 weeks of ensured employ-
ment during the year before the birth. At
least ten of the 20 weeks should have fallen
between the 30th and the 50th weeks before
the birth.
If you would like more information about
pregnancy leave or other labour legislation
of interest to working women, write to:
Ontario 20,
Queen's Park,
Toronto, Ontario.
and we will send you a brochure.
