An update on Parental and Maternity Leave :: Sharon Vogrinetz ::
The CPBI Northern Alberta Council is pleased to offer an update on the current policies for maternity and parental leave, the human rights decisions that prompted parental rights, employment insurance and top-up plans, and the latest decisions which impact the rights of moms and dads.
Sharon Vogrinetz, Coordinator of Teacher Welfare for The Alberta Teachers’ Association, is responsible for ensuring that the information and administration provided to teachers on these topics is accurate and timely. Sharon will provide an overview of the human rights and arbitration cases that resulted in paid maternity leave, as well as the application of the Employment Standards Code on these leaves. She will also discuss the application of sick leave and long-term disability and supplementary employment insurance benefits for employees on maternity leave
Benefits professionals who are responsible for liaising with employees and providing information on this complex topic are encouraged to attend this session.
