Requests for an unpaid leave of absence are to be used for job-protected leaves under the Employment Standards Act and in cases where an employee’s absence request cannot be accommodated through the standard options available on the dropdown menu. Line Manager and Human Resources approval is required.
Requests for an unpaid leave of absence are also used by employees on timecards to enter an absence for when they are late to work. In such case, “Late” will be selected as Reason.
