Retro Pay: I was on maternity leave from October 2019 to October 2020. Will that affect my retro pay amount?
Answer
If, while on maternity leave, you were paid for any hours by the employer (e.g. sick leave, casual work) you would receive retro pay for those hours.
If, while on maternity leave, you were paid by third party (e.g. employment insurance), or were not paid at all by the employer, you will not be eligible for or receive retro pay for that time period.
