Our Collective Wellness
Although we all have a lot on our plates and appreciate your commitment to your work, it’s also
important that you take the time you need to rest and recover when you’re sick, rather than
coming in to the office or warehouse. This is important not only so that you get well sooner but
also to prevent the spread of illness, particularly during the winter flu/cold season.
Illness or Injury Leave of Absence or Workplace Accommodation
If you require a leave of absence or accommodation at work due to a medical condition that is
unrelated to a WorkSafe (BC) claim or OSHA report, we wish to support you during this time for
a quick and safe return to work - and by making every effort to accommodate any limitations or
restrictions upon your return.
Prior to your leave or workplace accommodation
We require that your doctor or qualified specialist complete a medical certificate form* (that
you must obtain from Payroll or HR) that:
 Confirms you have a medical condition requiring you to be absent from work or
workplace accommodation
 Confirms you are being treated for the condition and are following the prescribed
treatment plan
 Provides a prognosis and expected return to work date or time-frame for
accommodation
 Indicates what limitations or restrictions you may have at work, and associated
accommodations
During your leave
During your leave, you will continue to be covered by our benefits plan, provided you continue
to pay your portion of the premiums.
For employees in Delta, you may be eligible for employment insurance sick leave
benefits during this time. Refer to the Service Canada website for details.
Workplace accommodation
As your doctor or qualified specialist requires certain information with which to address what
limitations, restrictions and/or accommodations should be put in place, we will provide him/her
with a list of your duties, along with the medical certificate form*, that you must provide
him/her with. If possible, we’ll do what we can to reasonably modify your duties upon your
return to work. From time to time, we may require information about your current abilities to
assist us in doing so.
Prior to returning to work
We will require that your doctor or qualified specialist complete a medical certificate form*
(that you must obtain from HR) to address the following:
 Whether you are fit to be at and/or return to work
 Whether there are any limitations or restrictions related to your regular duties
