E-3.2 - Election Act

Full text
182. No employer may, by reason of the leave, dismiss, lay off, suspend, demote or transfer an employee, nor grant him working conditions that are less advantageous than those he is entitled to, especially by subtracting the leave from the employee’s period of vacation, nor change any of the benefits related to his employment.
The leave does not interrupt the continuous service of the employee.
While on leave, the employee may continue to contribute to all the plans in which he participates if he makes a written application to that effect at the beginning of the leave and if he pays the totality of the premiums, including the contribution of the employer.
At the expiry of the leave, the employee is entitled to the benefits he would have received if he had been at work during that time.
