- Do they literally keep employees on regular salary, while they are off on a leave, i.e. the pay statement says salary not short-term disability?
- What does the contract of employment say about the right to vacation during inactive service. If it’s silent on this, then for sure vacationable.
Hi Glenn – the employees are kept on our payroll and the earning code doesn’t change (eg from base salary to short-term disability), however the days are tracked internally (so we could demonstrate the number of days someone was actually on STD to separate base earnings from STD benefit payments. If we made a change to the way the information was displayed on the paystub (and ensured our policy reflected the same terminology, and confirmed vacation does not accrue while on short-term disability), would we have any issues with any ES legislation across Canada?
