Add Comment Question: Hello, I on Maternity leave 18 Months right now and next month it will be end. I like to know if I can continue some kind of leave ( for example Leave of Absence) to continue take care my child without resign. Can I prolong my leave? I part time worker. Thank you Answer: The first step is to ask your employer if they will permit you to extend your leave of absence, as they may very well be open to this. If not, you would need a specific reason to extend the leave that is covered by human rights or employment standards legislation. Please contact our firm to discuss the matter in more detail and determine if you have a basis to insist on extending your leave.
