Supplementary Benefit (SB) to Maternity Leave and Parental Leave Sample Clauses

Supplementary Benefit (SB) to Maternity Leave and Parental Leave. Candu will provide a supplement to the EI Maternity and Parental Benefits to those employees who are eligible for maternity/parental leave under the provisions of this procedure and who qualify for EI Maternity/Parental benefits in accordance with Article 14.19 of the Collective Agreement. An employee on approved maternity/parental leave must submit the first EI stub as proof of their eligibility to receive the SB. In order to be eligible to receive and retain the SB to cover the entire maternity leave period, the employee must return to work for a period of at least six continuous months following the approved leave period. If the employee terminates prior to completing the full six months, the SB must be paid back on a pro-rated basis. The SB will be paid in conjunction with the regular pay schedule. To commence SB payments, a copy of the employee’s first EI payment slip must be forwarded to the HR Services office. The SB payments will be deposited directly into the employee’s bank account to which pay is deposited. For term employees, the SB benefit will only be paid if the length of the employee’s term assignment is such that the employee is expected to satisfy the criteria of returning to work for at least six months following the leave period.
