87.35. At a senior administrator’s request, paternity leave may be divided into weeks if his child is hospitalized or if a situation described in sections 79.1 or 79.8 to 79.12 of the Act respecting labour standards (chapter N-1.1) occurs.
The maximum number of weeks the paternity leave may be suspended is equal to the number of weeks the child is hospitalized. For other paternity leave division options, the maximum number of weeks of suspension is that prescribed by the Act respecting labour standards for the applicable situation.
During such suspension, the senior administrator is considered to be on leave without pay and shall not receive any allowance or benefit from the employer; however, the senior administrator receives the benefits provided for in section 87.56.
