10.12. An employee may be absent from work for 10 days per year to fulfil obligations relating to the custody, health or education of the employee’s child or the child of the employee’s spouse, or because of the state of health of a relative or a person for whom the employee acts as a caregiver, as attested by a professional working in the health and social services sector and governed by the Professional Code (chapter C-26).

The leave may be divided into days. A day may also be divided if the employer consents thereto.

If it is warranted, by the duration of the absence for instance, the employer may request that the employee furnish a document attesting to the reasons for the absence.

The employee must advise the employer of his absence as soon as possible and take the reasonable steps within his power to limit the leave and the duration of the leave.

The first 2 days taken annually are remunerated according to the calculation formula described in the first paragraph of section 8.05, with respect to class A employees, and according to the calculation formula described in the second paragraph of section 8.05, with respect to class B employees, with any adjustments required in the case of division.

10.13. The right provided for in the fifth paragraph of section 10.12 applies in the same manner to absences authorized according to section 79.1 of the Act respecting labour standards (chapter N-1.1).

O.C. 288-2021, s. 8.

The compensation shall be paid at the time the employment is terminated or at the time the employee is laid off for a period expected to last more than 6 months, or at the end of a period of 6 months for a layoff of indetermined duration or a layoff expected to last less than 6 months but which exceeds that period.
