Job protection does not automatically replace a paycheque, or keep a business operating.
Ontario’s long-term illness leave took effect on June 19, 2025.
Eligible employees covered by the Employment Standards Act may take up to 27 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave within a 52-week period because of a certified serious medical condition.
An Ottawa company whose lead technician requires 20 weeks away for treatment.
The employee faces months without regular wages. Meanwhile, the business must serve clients, redistribute responsibilities and protect an important position.
Suddenly, two plans matter: the employee’s financial protection and the company’s continuity plan.
The practical takeaway: cross-train essential roles, document critical processes and review your leave procedures and group disability coverage.
Business owners should also ask a personal question: if illness prevented you from working, what would support your income, recovery costs and business obligations?
Critical illness or disability coverage may form part of that strategy, depending on individual needs and policy terms.
Is your business prepared for a key person’s extended medical absence?

Personal health insurance
Unexpected health expenses can show up when you least expect them. Personal health insurance can help cover things like prescription drugs, dental care, vision care and more, giving you added peace of mind when provincial coverage doesn't cover it all.

Have you considered how a serious illness could affect your finances while you’re still working and supporting your family?
Critical illness insurance protects more than just your future — it helps safeguard your financial stability during recovery when you need it most.
If you're diagnosed with one of 26 covered illnesses and meet policy requirements, critical illness insurance provides a lump-sum benefit you can use for whatever matters: medical expenses, mortgage payments, lost income or ongoing care. That means you can focus on getting better instead of worrying about finances.
Those eligible can benefit from 10% lower premiums for life when you bundle critical illness coverage with other protection solutions. This rate locks in permanently giving you lasting financial security. Get in touch to see if this offer is right for you. https://advisor.sunlife.ca/achraf.houmani/
