New - Learn about illness, injury or impairment leave!

March 27, 2023 - Defence Stories

If you become ill, injured or impaired and you aren't sure what to do, review the new section in our leave toolkit (accessible only on the National Defence network) on Leave for illness, injury or impairment reasons (accessible only on the National Defence network). On this page, you will find descriptive information and step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process if you take leave for illness, injury or impairment reasons.

You will also get access to information on:

• How to submit a request for sick leave
• Disability or long-term disability insurance
• The process of returning to work from leave for illness, injury or impairment reasons
• Injury on Duty
• Return to work from a workplace injury

In any case of illness, injury or impairment, you should seek medical help at the onset of the illness, injury or impairment and inform your manager.

Check out the Leave for illness, injury or impairment reasons web page to find out when you should seek support from the Office of Disability Management (ODM) (accessible only on the National Defence network).
