If my parent is really sick and I need to take care of them for 2 weeks, will there be any `PAID leave` allowed

Please give me advice. thanks

Please check with your Human Resources personnel or benefits office. We have allowances for this in the U.S., but Canada is a different country.

All the best!

Hi,
Try this site: www.myemploymentguide.com/canadianlabor. If you have accrued vacation, request time off (using your vacation) to care for your parents. Both of my parents are in their 80s, live in Ohio (I'm in Georgia), so I know how stressful it can be.

Hi Msiris - In Canada if you are not covered under a union at work there are Employment Standards Codes. These are either federal or provincial depending on the type of corporation you are working for. Best bet is to work with your human resources or union representative. If this is not an option search the Internet for employment standards and your province. The standards listed in the province will explain your rights for this type of leave.
