Recent announcements about the possible transfer of workload from CRA to Revenu Québec have created an atmosphere of uncertainty for many of our dedicated AFS members.
We are proud of our AFS members who have the knowledge and experience to address international, scientific research and development, tax avoidance and other complex tax matters.
It has come to our attention that CRA is not crediting employees for their vacation or sick leave earned while on LIA. This is occurring in spite of the fact that our AFS collective agreement provides for the earning of vacation and sick leave while on LIA.
To earn sick leave in a given month, an employee must “receive pay for at least seventy-five (75) hours.” Similarly, to earn the vacation leave accumulation, an employee must “receive pay on at least ten (10) days or seventy-five (75) hours.” Employees do receive pay while on LIA.
There is one (1) vacancy on the AFS Group executive. The successful candidate will take Office on July 1, 2018.
Following the close of nominations on April 18, 2018 the following members expressed their willingness to serve as President on the AFS Group Executive.
