- Interpretation
-
The presumption that an employer indulged in a forbidden practice with regard to an employee who took a maternity leave, paternity leave or parental leave continues to apply for at least 20 weeks after that employee has returned to work. Such employee may therefore take advantage of the recourse set out in section 122 ALS during the leave, upon returning to work and for at least 20 weeks following the employee’s return to work. The employee will be able to continue to benefit from presumption even beyond the 20th week if there is concomitance between the prohibited practice and the sanction imposed.
