COVID-19 leaves and accommodations
Please contact your academic leader/University Librarian to report any inability to undertake expected academic or professional responsibilities, due to illness or need to self-isolate.
You can discuss medical and family status accommodations, as well as temporary remote work arrangements, if practical. If you are not able to work remotely, you will be placed on a sick leave in accordance with your collective agreement.
Our leave programs give you the flexibility to balance your career and personal life. Study and administrative leaves allow you to engage in research, scholarly and creative activities without interruption.
We provide comprehensive maternity, parental and adoption leave and benefits. We also offer supports for medical leave and returning to work after injury or illness.
