Ontario Personal Emergency Leave Regulation

New to Lawson Absence Management, I am uncertain of the best way to implement the Ontario PEL. We already have a sick plan in place. Do we need to create a new plan/paycodes (paid unpaid) for the PEL?

The understanding we had about PEL is that if you request a PEL for any reason other than a sick/bereavement day before you have used up the 2 paid sick/bereavement days, you have to still allow the employee to take a PEL day, you cannot reduce it from their sick balance if they are not sick/or not asking for bereavement leave.

We have created a separate plan to allot 2 days of PEL per employee. We are manually tracking usage and its dependency on the sick/bereavement usage at this time.

Thanks for the reply. May I ask why tracking is done manually if there is plan set up? Is it because the plan is only set up for the 2 paid days? Can another plan be set up for the 8 unpaid? Did you create new paycodes as well?

The manual tracking is not for PEL tracking - its to compare usage to the sick plan - if a paid PEL was taken, we also compare it to the sick usage, if the employee has already used up 2 sick days, we dont code it to paid PEL. there is no way to know if an employee has already used sick days unless we do this manual check (query wizard reports).

Yes we created 2 pay codes, paid and unpaid PEL. We have not set up an unpaid PEL plan in absence mgmt. Since it was unpaid we decided to just run audit reports periodically via query wizard.
