  • Implementing 10 Days of Paid Sick Leave
    May 28, 2020 Implementing 10 days of paid sick leave: What workers' need Recommendations from the Fight for $15 and Fairness, Workers’ Action Centre, and Parkdale Community Legal Services 1. Introduction Public Health Officers across the country are telling people to stay home from work when sick. The government proposal for 10 days paid sick leave across the country is a crucial step to enable workers, particularly in the midst of the COVID recession, to actually go home, or stay home from work when sick. 2. What do people need to be able to stay home from work when sick? Sick days must be paid by the employer • Paid sick days must be received in regular paychecks because bills and rent are due regularly; • CERB program sick pay would have to be a paid on a flat rate amount to be timely such as $500 per week – i.e., one paid sick day is $100. This may not be appropriate for paid sick days (too little for people earning more than minimum wage which in Ontario would be over $100 per day). This may be inadequate to achieve the public health objective of enabling people to stay home from work when sick due to loss in earnings. • It is unlikely that the EI system will have the capacity to process and payout individual worker’s sick day pay. The requirement for sick days are often intermittent, requiring multiple applications to an already overloaded system. Paid sick leave must be job protected • Any paid sick leave provision would have to provide employees with a job- protected right to take leave without reprisals.

  • The Role of Occupational Health Services in Psychosocial Risk Management and the Promotion of Mental Health and Well-Being at Work

However, due to differences in national health, social security and occupational safety and health systems, the content, capacity, coverage and provisions of OHS vary considerably across national contexts. Obtaining a better understanding in terms of such similarities and varia- tions internationally is essential as such comparative information can help inform evidenced-based decision-making on OHS at both policy and practice levels. This paper therefore reviews and analyses Citation: Jain, A.; Hassard, J.; Leka, the key policies, standards and approaches in OH systems and services, using both academic and S.; Di Tecco, C.; Iavicoli, S.

  • E-Journal of International and Comparative LABOUR STUDIES Volume 1, No
    OPEN ACCESS I S S N 1 4 2 2 - 0067 E-Journal of International and Comparative LABOUR STUDIES Volume 1, No. 1-2 March-June 2012 UNIVERSITY PRESS Working Time Regulation in Georgia Zakaria Shvelidze * Introduction In 2006, the Parliament of Georgia passed the new Labour Code. Before that, employment relations in the country were governed by the Soviet Labour Code, in force since 1 October 1973. However, and notwithstanding the amendments made in 1997, existing labour legislation faced serious difficulty in keeping up with recent developments within employment relationships. Starting from the period 2003-2004, a series of sweeping political changes led to the rise of the liberal economy, with trade liberalisation that significantly marked national labour laws. The newly-adopted Labour Code is mainly oriented towards favouring employers’ interests, as it waters down regulatory restrictions and standardises labour law provisions. In passing employer-friendly laws, the Georgian government aims at creating a more attractive and liberal economic environment, which, in turn, should encourage job creation and employment. In this connection, this paper discusses the new patterns of working time regulation introduced by the Georgian Labour Code. A comparative analysis between the working time regulation now in place, the Soviet Labour Code previously in force, and the European Union Directive 2003/88/EC concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time will be carried out. This is done to assess the harmonisation of the new Labour Code with the EU Working Time Directive, also as an instrument to facilitate European integration. On 1 July 1999, the Partnership and Cooperation Agreement (PCA) between Georgia, the European Communities, and their Member States entered into force.

  • Fairness at Work, but Not Efficiency Or Voice
    Forthcoming in Comparative Labor Law and Policy Journal FAIRNESS AT WORK, AND MAYBE EFFICIENCY BUT NOT VOICE: AN EVALUATION OF THE ARTHURS’ COMMISSION REPORT John W. Budd Industrial Relations Center University of Minnesota 3-300 Carlson School of Management 321 19th Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55455-0438 [email protected] (612) 624-0357 fax: (612) 624-8360 Version Date: September 30, 2007 I. INTRODUCTION Against a backdrop of intense competitive pressures in a global economy, employment and labor law reform is on the public policy agenda in many countries. The approach to such reforms is, unsurprisingly, quite diverse. Germany has attempted to reduce unemployment by loosening labor market regulations and lowering unemployment benefits. Australia has similarly tried to promote labor market flexibility by aggressively deregulating its system of workplace law and exempting a number of employees from its unjust dismissal laws. In contrast, China recently enacted new legislation requiring written employment contracts and other employee protections. The United States increased the national minimum wage in 2007 and debates continue over health care insurance, paid family leave, union recognition procedures, strike replacements, and other contentious issues. Similar debates have occurred in Canada, with a number of employment and labor law reforms enacted by various provinces. The Canadian federal sector has taken a particularly thoughtful approach to the issue of labor standards reform. Specifically, the distinguished law professor Harry W. Arthurs was commissioned in 2004 by the Minister of Labour to review Part III of the Canada Labour Code. Along with his expert advisors—Daphne Taras, Gilles Trudeau, and Sherry Liang—and supported by management and labor advisors as well as a number of independent research studies and public consultations, Professor Arthurs has produced a 295 page report entitled Fairness at Work: Federal Labour Standards for the 21st Century1 that is valuable for anyone interested in the critical issue of contemporary employment and labor law reform.
