Whether you are a growing Canadian company, or a U.S. company interested in doing business in Canada, it is essential to know the language of employment. Mitigating the risk of costly litigation can often make or break the success of any business.
Note: legislation varies among provinces (greater variences in Quebec)
- Pregnancy & Parental leaves are independent of each other
- Pregnancy leave is 17 weeks; Parental leave is 35 weeks
- Both are unpaid leaves and are job protected
- During leave, employees may collect Employment Insurance benefits
- During leave, employees have the right to: participate in benefits; receive credit for length of employment, service or seniority
- Employers cannot penalize employees for being eligible for the leave
- Some larger employers will "top up" the Employment Insurance benefit to equal 80-100% of the employee's wages/salary
- In the past few years, there has been an increase in the number of eligible Canadian fathers taking Parental Leave. This statistic rose to 12% in 2009...and even higher in the province of Quebec.

UNDERSTANDING CANADIAN LANGUAGE
ChesterfieldA sofa or couch. A term used somewhat in Northern California; obsolete in Britain (where it originated). Sometimes (as in classic furnishing terminology) refers to a sofa whose arms are the same height as the back, but more usually to any couch or sofa. The more international terms sofa and couch are also used; among younger generations in the western and central regions, chesterfield is largely in decline.
"Kids, please stop jumping on the chesterfield!"
