How does an employee receive any money owing while on their leave?
The employee needs to complete a “Self-Funded Leave of Absence, Benefit Payment Authorization and Direction” form, which includes the following information: Type of Payment The employee may choose one of three types of payments: monthly, one lump sum, or two equal payments. Note that the money will not be received until approximately 2-3 weeks following the start of the leave of absence. Method of Payment The method of payment will be made either by cheque or direct deposit. A copy of the employee’s void cheque must accompany the Benefit Payment Authorization and Direction form if he or she is requesting the payment be made via direct deposit. Note: There will be a delay in receiving payment if the employee chooses to be paid by cheque, as it will be mailed.
