Among other things, the Labour Statutes Amendment Act amends the Employment Standards Code and Labour Relations Code regarding bereavement and reservist leaves rules for employees. The Act removes the 20-day limit on the time reservists can take for annual training.
The Act also allows employees who have been with the same employer for at least 90 days to take bereavement leave when their family member dies, or when they or their spouse had a pregnancy which ended in miscarriage or stillbirth. Employees can still take up to three days of bereavement leave in total per calendar year.
The Act allows academic staff, graduate students and postdoctoral fellow associations to continue representing their respective members in collective bargaining without a time limit.
