The proposed revised version of Policy 14 – Pregnancy and Parental Leaves (including Adoption) is now posted for consultation with the UW community. The proposed changes would take us from having one of the worst pregnancy and parental leave policies in the province to one of the best.
The FAUW Board believes the changes would dramatically improve the lives of FAUW members, promote employment equity, and increase Waterloo’s competitiveness both nationally and globally. We are asking members to help ensure the proposed policy is approved.
These are the improvements we’re most pleased with:
This helpful memorandum from the committee articulates the proposed changes in more detail, provides the rationale, and includes the full proposed policy. The current version of the policy is available on the Secretariat's website.
The consultation period ends December 18. In the new year, the Faculty Relations Committee (FRC) and Staff Relations Committee will review the collected feedback and negotiate changes to the draft. FAUW's position in these negotiations will be informed by the feedback we get from you.
Hearing that faculty members are in strong support of the revised policy will help make sure it passes at FRC and then again at the Board of Governors.
[Note that the consultation period has now ended, but the policy has not yet been approved.[
