⚖️ Workplace Rules
Reprimands: When an employee is reprimanded for a task, performance or productivity, the employer must provide the sold and punched hours on the work performed. Any warning must be given in writing within 5 working days of knowledge of the fault. A note in the file is erased after 10 months and can no longer be used.
Layoff notice: Minimum 4 working days written notice, which must end on the last working day of the regular week. If the procedure is not respected, the notice is null and the employee keeps receiving weekly pay until the employer complies. Employees suspended for discipline or terminated for cause are not entitled to this notice period.
Workplace: A mechanical-shop technician cannot be forced to change establishments after 2 years of employment unless it was stated in writing at hiring. Other departments may be transferred only for equivalent tasks and responsibilities.
Personal vehicle repair: One evening per week, maximum 4 hours, on the employee's vehicle or that of their immediate family (spouse, parents, children, brothers and sisters), agreed with the supervisor. No person who is not an employee of Mercedes-Benz Laval may be in the mechanical shop, without exception.

👶 Life Situations
What you're entitled to — vacation, leave and benefits in key life moments
👶 Having a Child
Becoming a parent gives you job-protected leave and benefits. Here's what applies:
- Parental leave (job-protected): you may take maternity, paternity and parental leave without losing your job — under the Québec labour standards and the RQAP (QPIP) parental insurance plan.
- Income replacement: RQAP pays a percentage of your income during the leave (maternity, paternity, parental and adoption benefits) — apply before the leave starts.
- Vacation keeps accruing: your years of service continue to count during the leave, so your vacation weeks and percentages keep building (see the Contract page scale).
- Seniority and benefits continue: continuous service is not interrupted; check with HR that your group insurance coverage stays active during the leave.
- Return to work: you come back to the same position, with no loss of acquired rights.
- Workplace support: you remain entitled to the agreement's benefits on your return — tools allowance, boots, RRSP contributions, etc.
💡 To plan your leave, contact HR (rh@mblaval.com) and apply to RQAP before the leave begins.
💍 Getting Married
You are entitled to 1 paid day off for your own wedding, under the internal agreement.
🕊️ Death in the Family
If a member of your immediate family passes away (spouse, father, mother, child, brother or sister), you are entitled to 5 paid working days, plus 3 additional unpaid days if needed.
🤒 Illness
If you're sick, the agreement protects you:
- A doctor's note is required for any absence of 3 days or more.
- Medical-note fees are reimbursed (with invoice) if not covered by group insurance.
- Unused sick days are redeemed at the end of the year based on seniority — up to 120–125% of the day's pay.
- Hours of absence are paid as sick leave; worked hours are paid on the next pay.
🏦 Retirement & Seniority
Long-service employees get extra entitlements:
- RRSP: employer contribution up to 10.5% (10+ years) on gross salary including overtime, capped at $100,000.
- After 30 years: work 4 days a week and reach the top vacation scale (4–5 weeks).
- At 63: exemption from tire removal and balancing on request.
