Last Updated Wednesday, April 28, 2021 3:44PM EDT The Ontario government says full-time and part-time workers in the province who need time off due to COVID-19 will be eligible to receive up to three paid sick days as part of a temporary provincial program that ends in September. The province says it will introduce legislation on Thursday that, if passed, will require employers to provide workers with up to three days off if they miss work due to COVID-19. Labour Minister Monte McNaughton says the province will reimburse employers up to $200 per day for each employee. The program, which has been dubbed the Ontario COVID-19 Worker Income Protection Benefit Program, will be administered through the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB) and will end on Sept. 25, the same date that the federal government's Canada Recovery and Sickness Benefit (CRSB) is set to expire.
