Article 13: Unpaid Leave

13.01

Requests for unpaid, short-term, or extended leave of absence shall be made in writing to the Program or Educational Director of the Hospital, and may be granted by the Hospital on the recommendation of the Program or Educational Director.

Residents taking unpaid leave will have their vacation entitlement prorated using the formula set out in Article 14.04. Employer paid benefits do not continue during extended leaves.

Interpretation Close

Residents must request for time off for unpaid leave, and at times are expected to train for an extra amount of time should you take an extended leave.  This will have to be discussed with your program.  If you are unsure whether you should take unpaid leave, or if there are other types of leave you can take, contact the PAR-BC office.
