TORONTO - A group of small business owners and advocates says Ontario s recently announced paid sick leave plan is inadequate and unfair for small businesses.
The Better Way Alliance, a group of businesses that advocates for higher wages and other labour rights, said the province s Worker Income Protection Benefit does not go far enough, regardless of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Labour Minister Monte McNaughton announced Wednesday that the three-day sick leave policy will be retroactive to April 19 and will end on Sept. 25. Employers will be reimbursed for up to $200 a day for what they pay out.
