Persephone Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 CaRMS's site has what amount of leave your entitled to by province, and also links to the provincial residency organization pages: https://www.carms.ca/match/r-1-main-residency-match/salary/#1511459027032-06ec5e41-5301 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bambi Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 Subject to verification, you need 6 months employment to qualify for unemployment insurance. However, you start being employed July 1. You will be entitled to maternity leave, but I am unsure if you will have entitlement financially, I think not., Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Persephone Posted April 13, 2019 Report Share Posted April 13, 2019 "Before you go on leave, make sure you have worked 600 insurable hours in the last 52 weeks, or since your last claim in order to qualify for EI." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinemed Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Currently on my 2nd maternity in residency (BC). Feel free to PM me. You will qualify for maternity leave benefits. Other details (top up, etc). Depend on your province. Your program should be able to help with details. Let them know as soon as you are comfortable (2nd tri?) so you can reschedule rotations and plan duration of leave. Bambi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s based on hours. Residents meet the requirement in about 4 months (working 37.5h per our pay). Bambi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
