Engineers Canada is seeking proposals from bidders to revise and update the current resource for employers and employees on managing parental leave, entitled “Managing Transitions: Before, During and After Leave: A Planning Resource Guide for Employees and Employers.”

The successful bidder will complete three deliverables:

  • An updated report on current federal, provincial, or territorial legislation related to employment insurance, parental leave, and equitable employment standards, and a summary of related guidelines.
  • One guide that is designed to assist engineers and geoscientists across Canada who are taking or considering taking maternity or parental leave. This document should include the necessary steps an employee should be taking before, during, and after their leave, as well as any supporting documents and/or templates that would support an individual during this transition.
  • Another guide that is designed to assist employers, human resource managers, and supervisors of both engineers and geoscientists who are taking or considering taking maternity or parental leave. This document should include the necessary steps an employer should be taking before, during, and after and employee’s leave, as well as any supporting documents and/or templates that would support an employer during this transition.

The expected project completion date is October 1, 2022.
