Payouts Processing Procedures
In order to submit a claim for annual and sick leave or to find out how members are paid their 13th cheque, refer to the information below:
- Individual employees should submit their leave application to their employer.
- Employers will then submit annual leave on the Council annual leave application form, electronically to the Council via e-mail or online. Applications received by the Council will be processed based on the following calculation:
-
Less than 5 years completed service: a contribution based on 25% of your weekly wage will be made by the employer on your behalf. Employees qualify for 15 leave days, but the Council will pay out leave days in excess of 15 days if the employee has more than 15 days to his/her credit. If the employee has not accumulated 15 days, the Council will only pay out the number of leave days available at the date of application.
-
Between 5 and 10 years completed continuous service: a contribution based on 28.34% of your weekly wage will be made by the employer on your behalf. Employees qualify for 17 leave days, but the Council will pay out leave days in excess of 17 days if the employee has more than 17 days to his/her credit. If the employee has not accumulated 17 days, the Council will only pay out the number of leave days available at the date of application.
-
10 Years completed service and longer: a contribution based on 33.3% of your weekly wage will be made by the employer on your behalf. Employees qualify for 20 leave days, but the Council will pay out leave days in excess of 20days if the employee has more than 20 days to his/her credit. If the employee has not accumulated 20 days, the Council will only pay out the number of leave days available at the date of application.
Sick Leave Benefit
- Individual employees must submit a doctor's note to their employers. Employers must download the
sick leave application form and submit the
sick leave application form as and when employees submit their doctor's note, either manually to the Council via fax, email, post or online.
Sick Leave BonusSick leave bonus will only be paid out as follows:
- On completion of the 3 year sick leave cycle after starting work or from the date that the previous sick leave cycle expires, this means that the date you started working will determine the year during which you can expect a bonus payment.
- The NBCRFLI will pay a sick leave bonus, based on contributions received less sick leave benefits paid to an employee during the preceding 3 year cycle.
If you have used all your sick leave benefits, you will not qualify for any sick leave bonus payments at the end of your sick leave cycle.
Holiday Bonus / 13th Cheque
- Holiday Bonuses will be paid in December of every year.
- Employers will submit their employees banking details as well as a payment release date via online system
- All payments will be made directly into employees’ bank accounts. No payments will be made to employers
