Unvaccinated Mothers Forced to Pay Back Maternity Leave

The BC government wants to leave unvaccinated mothers who are public servants on the hook for any maternity leave they benefited from.

Mothers who are denied an exemption to the Covid-19 shot could be terminated from their jobs and pay back up to $50,000 in maternity benefits.

“The vaccination policy stipulates that BC Public Service employees who do not receive two doses of vaccination against COVID-19, or refuse to disclose their vaccination status, and do not have an approved exemption request, are to be placed on a leave without pay for a period of at least three months, after which they may be terminated,” the BC government writes on their website.
