thanx A.I / What changed in BC law, 2024–2026
The law moved.Your package didn't.
British Columbia employment law has shifted repeatedly since 2022. A package printed even two years ago is quietly out of date — and the leave is protected whether the paperwork mentions it or not.
27 weeks of illness leave — 28 November 2025
Bill 30 added up to 27 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave within a 52-week period for a serious personal illness or injury. Agreements written before that date are silent on it.
Paid sick leave — 2022
Five days of employer-paid sick leave per year became a statutory minimum. Older contracts that promise fewer, or none, are below the floor.
An eleventh statutory holiday
Most contracts still list ten. BC recognises eleven. It is a small line that quietly understates entitlement across a whole workforce.
Why it matters
None of these needed a lawsuit to take effect. They are the law now. A review reads your agreement against the Act as it stands today, and names what is absent as well as what is wrong.
