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 - w'44u s.r g �f Y''yy •V;y ',,ff 2• �vX^� 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.

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.

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. 1 III11'I III dnrl eT SCHUTZ MSA ESR Your Full line CHRYSLER • PLYMOUTH - DODGE 4)4 HURON RD. GODERICHa CA. Swam holiday — 5 24-831 1 — 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.
