"...: y,,,Mm Ifyou are employed an»d going to have a baby, you7re ette to pregnancy.... leave. This is what Ontario is doing to make certain you rece ive it. We have a Iaw in Ontario which permits any pregnant woman, married or not, to take a i 7-week unpaid leave of absence from work to have her baby. This Iaw covers part-ti me as weil as fuli-time employees, provided that they have been working for the same employer for at least 63 weeks before the expected date of birth. When she returns to work, the new mother is guaranteed the right to her former position or to a comparable position with no Ioss of seniority or benefits at the same salary. Naturally, pregnancy does not prevent an employee from being dismissed for valid reasons flot connected with pregnancy, but pregnancy alone cannot be the cause of dismissal where an employee is eligible for leave. An expectant mother is required to give two weeks notice in writing of the d ay she intends to leave. She is entitled to begin her leave any time within il weeks before the baby's birth but she must take at least six weeks of her leave afterwards. If the employer wishes the empîoyee to begin her leave before she wants to do so, the employer must prove that she is unable to perform her normal duties adequately. The employee is eligible for Unemployment Insurance benefits du ring hèr pregnancy leave (even if she does flot intend to resumne work when her leave expires) if she had at 'east 20 weeks of ensured employmnent during the year before the birth. At Ieast ten of the 20 weeks should have fallen between the 3Oth and the 5th weeks bef ore the birth.
