Our union is calling on school employers to provide immediate access to paid pandemic leave for staff who test positive to COVID-19 or are exposed to the virus and required to comply with public health directives.  

Unfortunately, employers in the non-government education sector are continuing to deny employees immediate access to paid pandemic leave, instead requiring them to exhaust their entire accrual of personal/sick leave prior to using any paid pandemic leave at all.
