Applications are now being accepted for the Manitoba Pandemic Sick Leave Program.
The program provides eligible employers with up to $600 per employee for a maximum of five full days of COVID-19 related sick leave.
Eligible sick leave for the program includes testing, vaccinations and side effects, self-isolation due to COVID-19 symptoms or care for a loved one in any of the previously mentioned circumstances.
Economic Development and Jobs Minister Ralph Eichler says Manitobans need to feel confident that if they’re sick, they can stay home without financial repercussions.
“The Manitoba Pandemic Sick Leave program provides employers with financial assistance to ensure employees are paid on their regular schedule with no wait times.”
The program is running until at least September 25th.
