The president of Treasury Board, Tony Clement, made an important announcement Monday morning on Parliament Hill, declaring that the federal government is working out a plan to induce a short-term disability program with an aim of reforming the long-term program in order to make it more modern and efficient. During the news conference, he alleged that the federal government is one of the very few employers who do not currently have a short-term disability program, so the employees have to rely on banked sick days. He stated that this is an unfair system that discriminates against younger employees.
In the second part of his two-point announcement, he announced the federal government has intentions of fixing the long-term disability program too, which he labeled as “archaic and outdated.” Clement mentioned that “it is metaphorically at least a dinosaur of disability management.” He alleged that the government is looking to modernize the system, though it’s not specific on how to do it.
Upon inquiry of the chances that public servants might be ending up losing the number of sick days allotted every year or the ability to carry them over, he stated that the government has scheduled to hold dialogues with different unions representing the employees. He mentioned that “we’re going to be in a collective bargaining situation,” and that “the facts are very few employers nowadays have a banked sick day system … that is not common now.” The indication of changing the sick leave in the public service was initially coined in the federal budget in March.
