Ontario - Employees are entitled to up to three full days of job protected unpaid sick leave every calendar year under the Employment Standards Act (ESA). Leave under ESA runs concurrently with GitLab PTO. Employees must designate any time off for illness as Out Sick

in PTO by Roots to ensure that annual sick leave entitlement is properly tracked.
Québec - La Loi sur les normes du travail (N-1.1) prévoit deux jours d'absence rémunérée par année civile (du 1er janvier au 31 décembre). Ce congé s'exécute simultanément avec les règles de congé de GitLab.

Statutory General Entitlement:
GitLab Parental Leave Payments and Employment Insurance
The Employment Insurance benefit is government financial assistance to parents who are away from work to care for their newborn or newly adopted child or if they are pregnant or have recently given birth.
If you are eligible to receive Employment Insurance during your parental leave, GitLab will top up the difference to ensure you are receiving full pay for up to 16 weeks of your parental leave. Your Employment Insurance application must indicate that you are receiving supplement pay from GitLab. The combined amount of your Employment Insurance payments and top up payments from GitLab will not exceed your normal weekly earnings. The top up payment will also not be used to reduce other statutory accumulated benefits such as sick leave, vacation leave or severance pay.
If you are ineligible to receive Employment Insurance during your parental leave, GitLab will pay you 100% of your pay for up to 16 weeks of your parental leave. Per the statutory requirements in Canada, you will be ineligible to receive any Employment Insurance payments if you are receiving full parental leave pay from GitLab. If you have further questions, please email Total Rewards.
Employer contributions are made to the federal Canada Pension Plan (CPP).
