Ontario has just announced a new 3 day sick leave policy that requires no doctors notes. The employer will pay the employee and then be reimbursed by WSIB.

The majority of our clients have supported their staff (through pay) if sick, or needing to quarantine, so this may not be applicable to many. 

I’m not sure how this will work administratively, but will forward more details as we get them.
