+==== MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING SICK LEAVE FOR DEPENDENT CARE ====
+During the term of the 2019 National Agreement, sick leave may be used by an employee to give care or otherwise attend to a family member having an illness, injury or other condition which, if an employee had such condi- tion, would justify the use of sick leave by the employee. Family members shall include son or daughter, parent and spouse as defined in ELM Section 515.2. Up to 80 hours of sick leave may be used for dependent care in any leave year. Approval of sick leave for dependent care will be subject to normal procedures for leave approval.
+==== MEMORADUM OF UNDERSTANDING TASK FORCE ON SICK LEAVE ====
+The parties agree to establish at the National Level a “Task Force on Sick Leave – Incentives.” The Task Force will explore available opportunities for the parties to determine if there are alternative options available to em- ployees with regard to the utilization of sick leave.
+Nothing in this memorandum is intended to negate or alter the applicable requirements of this National Agreement or be inconsistent with obligations under law.
