British Columbia announced that beginning January 1, 2022,
workers covered by the province's Employment Standards Act
(ESA), including part-time, temporary or casual workers, will be
eligible to take up to five days of paid leave per year for any
personal illness or injury (Paid Sick Leave), provided they have
worked with their employer for at least 90 days. Employers must pay
their employees their regular wages for these days, which do not
have to be taken consecutively.
