Denied Maternity Top Up At Work Located In Ontario Canada
Location: Ontario Canada
Myself and 3 other female employees at my work have just started maternity leave.
Our current collective agreement allows 18 weeks of top up pay while on maternity leave.
We are entering a new collective agreement as of January 1, in which maternity top up benefits are extended for 40 weeks.
Our association is stating that the small group of pregnant/new moms who are on leave will NOT be entitled to the terms of the new agreement and will only get the 18 weeks that the 2025 contract provides.
That being said - all members who are off on WSIB leave ARE being rolled into the new contract as of January 1, and will be forced into retirement based on the provisions of the new contract.
It seems discriminatory to me to say that all 300 employees are going to be bound by the terms of the new contract, including those on WSIB leave who will face financial loss in the new year. The only people NOT bound by the terms of the new contract are the 4 new moms because we don’t want to pay them extended mat leave.
Our work is telling us that the “legal team” told them they can’t allow us to get the top up under the new contract. I think this is wrong and we’d like to grieve it, looking for any advice on the topic
Thank you!
