BC Employment Standards: Sick Leave Rights in 2026

British Columbia's Employment Standards Act provides workers with 5 paid sick days and 3 unpaid sick days per year after 90 days of employment. Under BC law, employers cannot require a doctor's note for the first 5 paid sick days. However, employers may request medical documentation for absences exceeding 3 consecutive days. BC's sick leave provisions were introduced under Bill 13 (2022). Employers who penalize workers face penalties of up to $10,000 per violation.
