This manual is intended to provide information relating to the implementation process of the Maternity/Parental leave policy of the Presbyterian Church in Canada and guidelines relating to federal and provincial legislative requirements.

Part One of the manual is for general use by the employing body such as congregational treasurers, Presbytery Clerks and other PCC employers. It includes pension and benefit obligations on the part of the employer and guidelines for reimbursement of the 'top-up'.

Part Two of the manual is to give the member preparing for Maternity or Parental leave information regarding their benefits and remuneration while on leave as well as the member requirements necessary to process the claim.

It is the practice of the Pension and Benefits office to provide a detailed information letter and applicable forms to both the member preparing for a Maternity and Parental Leave as well as to their treasurer or payroll administrator. Please contact the Pension and Benefits office as early as possible to receive this information package.
