Payment for isolating

I work in a public hospital and have recently been required to isolate for 14 days due to a workplace incidence of COVID-19. But I have already used up the 20 days of special leave due to previous episodes. Am I still covered?

If you meet the requirements for paid special leave (under Circular C2021-014) – and being directed to self-isolate due to COVID-19 exposure is one of them – then yes, the LHD can (and should) grant additional paid leave, which is called Health Special Leave.

Note:

If you are unfortunate enough to contract COVID-19 in the workplace, workers compensation should be available thanks to laws that were passed last year following union action.
