New exclusion announced - lifting of the moratorium on mandatory leave cash out

In addition to our recent updates about the MOU regarding the automatic payment of excess leave and the interpretive aids for EC and TR members, we wanted to inform you that the Treasury Board Secretariat’s Chief Human Resources Officer has approved a new exception.

This new exception is for employees on leave without pay and in receipt of employment insurance benefits, disability benefits or long-term disability benefits.

These employees will be excluded from the mandatory leave cash-out for the years they are in receipt of these benefits. Managers and organizations have been instructed to pay special attention to those situations and take appropriate action.  

For questions about leave cash-out please contact your Labour Relations Officer.
