The opposition NDP is calling for the Alberta government to provide ten days of paid leave for isolating workers to curb workplace spread of COVID-19.
Leader Rachel Notley said Monday the Alberta government should cover employers sending the wage support directly to workers as part of their paycheques, leaving the details of how the province might be reimbursed through the federal government’s recovery sickness benefit until later.
