ff you are employed and going to
��) have a baby, you're entitled
to pregnancy leave.
This is what Ontario
is doing to make certain
you receive it.
We have a law in Ontario which permits,ny pregnant
woman, married or not, to take a 17 -week unpaid leave of
absence from work 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 at the same salary.
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, tf the employer wishes the
employee to begin her leave before she wants to do so,
the employer mustprove that she is unable to perform
her normal duties adequately.
The employee is eligible for Unemployment Insurance -

benefits during her pregnancy leave (even if she does not
intend to resume work when her leave expires) if she had
at least 20 weeks of ensured employment during the year
before the birth. At ),east ten of the 20 weeks should have
fallen between the 30th.and the 50th weeks before the
birth.

BAYFIELD RD. GODERICH,
In your column you published a letter which the reader
thought might be interpreted as "rather morbid."
Well a question that's bothering me is in the same
category, the making of a will.
My parents claim that at nineteen years of age I am now an
adult and should therefore have a will made, but since I own
very little personal property and no real estate i really can't
see the sense.
What is your opinion on this matter?
Though making a will at your age is not essential, it is
nevertheless a wise idea. A will lets you give your property to
whomever you wish (with some limitations if you are
married), whereas, if you die without a will (intestate), the
Devolution of Estates Act decides where your property will
go. It is up to you who you want controlling your property
after you did• If you die unmarried and without a will, your
closest next of kin (your parents and brothers and sisters)
will take the property under the Act.
Remember, a will is freely revocable, destructible and„
alterable. It costs very little and lets you appoint who is to
manage and distribute 'your belongings.
Before making any will, have a chat with a lawyer first.
The advantages of having a will at a young age are not
always present — especially if you do not own something of
significant value.

Help! My husband signed a mortgage when he was in great
need of money. He was told that the finance company would
charge a bonus, which was to be included as part of the
principal sumAt turned out to be a bonus of 51,000 on a 55,000
mortgage!
What can we do?
Generally speaking, the law says that a person is taken to
understand and accept the contract to which he puts his
signature.
However, there are a number of statutes which protects us
from unscrupulous businessmen and here we are dealing
with just such a statute. While it is legal to charge a bonus for
a loan and to state it and the principal as one sum, no bonus
can be harsh or unconscionable, in all the circumstances.
You can apply under the Unconscionable Transactions
Relief Act to court for relief. The risk of the loan, the level of
understanding of the mortgagor who signed the loan and the
presst e upon him to sign quickly are some of the things
taken into account by the court to see if the transaction is
unconscionable. Also, bonuses must be a true bonus and not a
penalty for failure to do something under the mortgage,
This area of the law is extremely complex. Always consult
a lawyer before taking any action.

I went to a bank and asked for a loan. The manager said
that I would have to give the bank some collateral, as well as
my promise to repay, as apparently my credit rating is not
the best. I have a car which he said would be suitable. But
what are the consequences of giving him collateral?
The law in this area is now covered by a new Act which
came into force on April, 1976.
If you give your car, or anything else, as collateral this
gives the bank further "security" for the loan and it has a
"security interest" in the collateral, giving it certain rights if
you default on your payments.
So long as you pay the loan off properly, your car is safe,
but if you default on your payments, the bank may take
possession of the car and either dispose of it (eg. sell it) or
keep it in satisfaction of the debt.
You would get the surplus if the car was sold for more than
the loan required. In short, if you do not make your
payments, you will very likely lose the car one way or
another so that the bank will satisfy the debt.
