87.7. A pregnant senior administrator who is eligible for the Québec Parental Insurance Plan is entitled to 21 weeks of maternity leave which, subject to sections 87.10 or 87.11, must be consecutive.
A pregnant senior administrator who is not eligible for the Québec Parental Insurance Plan is entitled to 20 weeks of maternity leave which, subject to sections 87.10 or 87.11, must be consecutive.
Maternity leave may be for a shorter duration than the durations mentioned in the first and second paragraphs. A senior administrator who returns to work within 2 weeks following the birth must, at the employer’s request, submit a medical certificate attesting that she has sufficiently recovered to return to work.
A senior administrator who becomes pregnant while on leave without pay or partial leave without pay provided for in this chapter is also entitled to maternity leave and to the benefits provided for in sections 87.14, 87.16 and 87.17, as the case may be.
If a senior administrator’s spouse dies, the remainder of the maternity leave and the rights and benefits attached thereto shall be transferred to the senior administrator.
