Alberta bill proposes changes to leaves for bereavement, reservist duties
Apr 22, 2022 | 7:28 AM
EDMONTON, AB – Alberta plans to expand bereavement leaves and time off for reservists taking part in training or military operations.
The province currently allows three days unpaid leave for an employee when a family member dies.
A bill tabled in the legislature would extend that unpaid leave to employees who experience a miscarriage or stillbirth. It would apply to biological parents, adoptive parents or surrogates.
The bill also proposes abolishing the current 20-day limit for reservists taking time off work for training duties. They would be allowed as much time as their training required.
