Maternity Leave and Benefits. The NLMA submits that about 30% of physicians in Canada are women. In Newfoundland and Labrador there are about 254 female physicians including 106 holding salaried positions.

FFS physicians are independent business owners/operators for which there is no employer obligation and no basis for the “earning” of a maternity leave benefit. There is currently no paid maternity leave for any Government employee and to provide paid maternity leave for physicians would be without precedent in the Province. Salaried physicians would be eligible for unpaid maternity leave and would be eligible to receive EI benefits.
