Hi everyone,
I work remotely for a small US company. This company does not have a permanent office in Canada but they do have a business number, they pay my federal and provincial taxes, and I receive a T4 every year. My issue is that I'm now pregnant. Does the US company have to honour Canadian laws and allow me to take up to 1 year of maternity leave (versus the 3 months available in the US)?
It's a small company so, if I take the year, I'm sure there will be a "restructuring" where my position would not be available after 1 year. If this is the case, do I have any recourse at all?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
