Province of BC Website
Workers can take 3 days of paid sick leave if they need to stay home because of COVID-19. The program is in place until December 31, 2021.
I’m an employer
You are required to offer employees 3 days of paid sick leave if they need to stay home as a result of circumstances related to COVID-19.
Wages
You must pay employees their full wages.
Reimbursement program
If your workplace does not have an existing sick leave program, the Province will reimburse you up to $200 a day.
WorkSafeBC will administer the reimbursement program. The program is not part of the workers’ compensation system and will not impact WorkSafeBC’s employer premiums or its accident fund.
Details on the reimbursement program and how to register will be available in June.
