關於PARENTAL LEAVE

Verver_sywang

我而家懷孕35個禮拜, 冇做野。我老公係同一間公司做左3-4年, 但係呢排做得好唔開心, 俾其中一個老細下下durn住, 仲係咁捉人想炒左d benefit高既員工。如果佢而家quit or 俾人fire左既話仲可唔可以apply parental leave? 因為以我所知一定要個bb出左世先可以apply... 佢份糧係我地唯一既收入 /__\

you are just 4 weeks (give or take) from labour...... I will not recommend he quit.  if ur husband had previously mentioned to the company about parental leave and anything happened before you deliver your baby, seek help/ legal advice.  Sorry I don't think I am helping much here, but just dropping my 2 cents as a support

I think he shouldn't quit and your husband needs to submit his parental leave request soon.  I don't think anyone can take "parental leave" after he quit or being fired. But one can take EI if he's been laid off.
Request for Leave

The Act says that a request for pregnancy or parental leave must be made in writing at least four weeks before the proposed start date.

Quest

I'd suggest your hubby to start brushing up his CV /resume, and start looking for another job while still attending to this current one. follow 布小熊's advice RE: submit a parental leave request to his manager and see how he/she reacts.

Legally, he/she cannot lay off your hubby in such circumstance so your hubby is protected (coz if the company does lay your hubby off because of parental leave, then you folks can file lawsuit against the company, which most companies would try to avoid). Then start taking the time (during parental leave) to look for another job...life will get better that way.

    以我所知BB出世前可以apply喎！

最緊要最需要attention係BB出世頭一個月，所以如果等BB出咗世先apply，咁你坐月嗰陣你老公都仲要返工，咁請假嚟做乜？

我覺得可以同公司請定假，而且要有paper document（email等等），如果有咩事都有啲record去投訴。

我覺得轉工都好講運氣，你老公屬咩㗎？冇咩貴人／吉星，我建議忍住先。

I applied maternity EI before bb expected due day but that's maternity leave. That I know you can apply before child is born. But for parental leave, I can't find where in the website that specifies this.
But you can always call Service Canada or go to one of the offices to ask.

As for your husband's situation, I wouldn't recommend to quit...I think if he quit then no EI...rather he just wait to be "laid off"...that way he can get EI...During parental leave...he can try to find another job...'coz as far as I know, as soon as come back to work from parental leave, if he get laid off, he still can't get another EI...

多謝禁多位既回覆！我老公同佢所有同事都覺得呢件事係針對性因為公司入面每一個人都係禁做而只有佢俾人炒！其他老細都話公司唔可以就禁就踢佢走！所以唔排除係因為佢準備拎parental leave而針對佢一個。而家已經搵左union幫佢希望會幫到我地啦！
