Prince Edward Island’s top ministry of health official is supporting the removal of sick notes requirements for workers to take a medical leave.
During question period in the Legislature on Friday, Green Party MLA Matt MacFarlane asked Mark McLane, minister of health, if he would support removing employers’ sick-note option that’s laid out in the province’s Employment Standards Act.
In response, McLane said: “I don’t think that there’s many employers that require [sick notes] anymore. But if they do, I would support the removal of them for sure,” according to a CBC report.
