What is the value of a plaintiff’s future sick leave?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lane v. Pedersen, 2014 BCSC 1302 (CanLII):
In the circumstances of this case, the plaintiff’s loss of sick pay is best understood as the loss of a contingent future benefit: Bjarnason v. Parks, 2009 BCSC 48. To obtain value from those sick days, the plaintiff must actually use them. She cannot bank them and collect them on her retirement, and they do not vest in the plaintiff.
