Where the employee so requests, he is also entitled to an additional annual leave without pay for a period equal to the number of days needed to bring his annual leave to 3 weeks.
This annual leave without pay need not follow that provided in the first paragraph and may not be divided or replaced by a compensating indemnity.

If, at the end of the 12 months that follow the end of a reference year, the employee is absent owing to sickness or accident, or is absent or on leave for family or parental matters, in accordance with the Act respecting Labour Standards (chapter N-1.1), the annual leave may be deferred, upon written agreement between the employer and the employee, to the following year. If there is no agreement for deferring the annual leave, the employer must then pay the employee the annual leave indemnity to which he is entitled.
A period of employment insurance, sickness, or disability, interrupted by a leave taken in accordance with this section, continues, if such is the case, after the leave, as if it had not been interrupted.

A leave not exceeding 1 week cannot be divided.

7.10. Should an employee provided for in sections 7.03 and 7.04.1 be absent owing to sickness or an accident or be on maternity or paternity leave during the reference year, and should that absence result in the reduction of that employee’s annual leave indemnity, the employee is then entitled to an indemnity equal, as the case may be, to twice, 3 times or 4 times the weekly average of the wage earned during the period of work. An employee provided for in section 7.02 whose annual leave is less than 2 weeks is entitled to that amount in proportion to the days of leave credited to his account.
