As much as we try to distinguish them, work and personal life are innately tethered to one another. Things come up at work that will leak into our personal lives, and our personal lives will certainly seep their way into the workplace. To keep a healthy work-life balance, this sometimes requires employees to take a temporary of leave of absence from their job.
Read on to learn how to navigate these requests and what to do during the leave of absence.
Each year, Sept. 30 is recognized as National Day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. Many workplaces may find themselves in a situation where they are asking themselves, “What does this day mean for our organization?”
First and foremost, this day is to honour children who attended residential school, remembering those who did not make it home, and recognizing survivors and their families.
For federally-regulated employers, this day is considered a statutory holiday, meaning workplaces close or employees are paid time-and-a-half. For non-federally-regulated employers, it is a bit more complicated.
