ESA Update – The ESA Health Overhaul: 27-Week Leaves & The Sick Note Ban

By late 2025, BC introduced a massive expansion of job-protected medical leave while simultaneously banning employers from requesting sick notes for short-term absences. This session provides a unified strategy for managing both “minor” and “major” health-related absences in the new 2026 landscape.
