Best Answer

Alberta is one of the few provinces that provides no regulations with regards to sick days. An employer in Alberta is not required to provide sick days, and the employee is not protected in any manner. A lot of controversy was caused over this during the H1N1 epidemic as health professionals were advising individuals with flu like symptoms to stay home, yet employees had no protection and many continued to work out of fear of reprisal/termination. At the time the AFL was putting a lot of pressure on the labour minister to make changes, and provided draft amendments, however these never made it through and employees in Alberta who are not part of a union continue to be unprotected.
