Leave is an authorized absence from duty. The Collective Agreements and Terms
and Conditions of Employment set out what paid and unpaid leave employees are entitled to.
As an HR Professional, you may be asked to support an employee who enters a leave of absence, whether with or without pay. You
may also be asked to provide information on the impact of the leave of absence on pay, benefits, and pension. Information is
available to help you support either the employee or the employee’s manager.
When an employee transfers from an agency or separate employer to a department, or vice versa, there are specific rules
surrounding leave, pension, and other benefits. For further clarification refer to the relevant Collective
Agreement and Terms and Conditions of Employment. You may also
want to review the Population Affiliation Report to determine the status of
the organization.
A Treasury Board Secretariat document entitled Continuous
Employment vs Continuous Service vs Continuous/discontinuous Service provides a chart outlining the differences between
continuous employment, continuous service and continuous/discontinuous service. It also provides information and examples
regarding former service with separate employers. Details and additional examples may be found in the Pay
Rate Selection Chapter of the Pay Administration Guide.
There are several types of leave for which an employee may be eligible. These types of leave may be leave
with pay or leave without pay.
