toronto _ ontario will give all workers three paid sick days to help employees take time off to self-isolate during the pandemic.
labour minister monte mcnaughton announced the measure today after months of intense pressure from experts and advocates who’ve said sick leave would help reduce workplace outbreaks.
mcnaughton says the province will reimburse employers up to $200 a day for what they pay out through the program.
last week, premier doug ford promised the province would implement its own sick-leave program after criticizing the federal government for not enhancing its canadian recovery sickness benefit.
