SICK LEAVE

In the event of sick leave, you must inform your supervisor immediately.

For sick leave without a medical certificate (up to 3 consecutive days and a maximum of 7 days per leave year), please submit an absence request through EDH.

To submit a sick leave request with a medical certificate, as well as other absences requiring supporting documentation, please complete the Transmission of Absence Supporting Documents (TJA) form.

Please note that annual leave or accumulated leave cannot be changed to sick leave unless a medical certificate is provided.

Please ensure that any medical certificates you submit are properly completed and include all the required information (see the links to the English and French certificate templates).

Please read the full procedure available here.
