HALIFAX-While it is a positive first step Nova Scotia s temporary and voluntary paid sick leave program falls short of providing the protection that all workers need. This paid sick leave program runs for a scant 82 days and will only benefit those who get sick or require time off to get a COVID test, get vaccinated or self-isolate within that time frame, said Unifor National President Jerry Dias. On top of that, it s voluntary so it fails to protect workers employed at companies that don t want to bother doing the reimbursement paperwork and simply opt out.
