In Qu&eacute;bec your job is protected for up to 26 weeks in any 12-month period, and Employment Insurance can pay up to 26 weeks of sickness benefits. Clinique Octobre does not issue work leave certificates: our role is to support you during the leave and afterwards.<\/p><\/div><p>Nobody wakes up one morning burned out. It settles in slowly, over months, until the day getting up for work becomes impossible. Many people arrive for a first session with the same sentence: <em>I don&rsquo;t recognize myself anymore<\/em>. Here is what the research says, what Qu&eacute;bec law provides, and how a return to work is actually prepared.<\/p><h2>Burnout: what are we talking about?<\/h2><p>Since 2019, the World Health Organization has included burn-out in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11) as an <strong>occupational phenomenon<\/strong>, and states plainly that it is <strong>not classified as a medical condition<\/strong>. The WHO describes it as a syndrome resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed, with three dimensions:<\/p><ul><li>feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;<\/li><li>increased mental distance from one&rsquo;s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to it;<\/li><li>reduced professional efficacy.<\/li><\/ul><p>The Gouvernement du Qu&eacute;bec makes the same distinction: burnout is not officially identified as a mental disorder, but it is recognized as the result of chronic work-related stress. That nuance has a practical consequence: a work leave is usually issued for the associated diagnosis (adjustment disorder, anxiety disorder, depressive episode) rather than for the word &ldquo;burnout&rdquo; itself.<\/p><h2>The signs that come up most often<\/h2><p>The Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety groups the most common manifestations:<\/p><ul><li>physical, emotional and cognitive fatigue that rest does not fix;<\/li><li>irritability, cynicism, loss of meaning at work;<\/li><li>trouble concentrating and remembering;<\/li><li>disrupted sleep and changes in appetite;<\/li><li>social withdrawal, from colleagues and loved ones alike;<\/li><li>unexplained physical pain (headaches, muscle tension, digestive issues).<\/li><\/ul><div class=\"ocb-band\"><p><strong>Worth remembering.<\/strong> These signs can also belong to depression, to an anxiety disorder or to a physical condition. Only a professional assessment can sort that out. Do not diagnose yourself.<\/p><\/div><h2>Who can prescribe a work leave?<\/h2><div class=\"ocb-band\"><p><strong>Let us be clear.<\/strong> In Qu&eacute;bec, only a physician or another authorized health professional can prescribe a work leave. <strong>Clinique Octobre does not issue work leave certificates.<\/strong> Our work happens elsewhere: understanding what brought you here, getting through the leave rather than simply enduring it, and preparing the return.<\/p><\/div><p>For Employment Insurance sickness benefits, the medical certificate may be signed by a medical doctor, chiropractor, podiatrist, optometrist, psychologist, dentist, midwife, nurse practitioner or registered nurse (in isolated areas when a doctor is unavailable). The condition treated must fall within the scope of practice of the professional who signs.<\/p><h2>Your protections in Qu&eacute;bec<\/h2><h3>Your job<\/h3><p>The Act respecting labour standards protects your employment relationship during a sickness absence for up to <strong>26 weeks in any 12-month period<\/strong>. You must notify your employer as soon as possible and give the reason for the absence.<\/p><h3>The first two days<\/h3><p>If you are credited with <strong>three months of uninterrupted service<\/strong> with your employer, the <strong>first two days of absence are paid<\/strong> each calendar year. They cannot be carried over to the following year.<\/p><h3>The medical note question<\/h3><p>Since <strong>January 1, 2025<\/strong>, section 79.2 of the Act respecting labour standards prohibits an employer from requiring a document justifying the absence for the <strong>first three absence periods of three consecutive days or less<\/strong> taken over 12 months. Beyond that, the employer may ask for supporting documentation where circumstances warrant it, notably because of the length or frequency of the absence.<\/p><h2>Employment Insurance during the leave<\/h2><p>EI sickness benefits provide up to <strong>26 weeks<\/strong> of financial assistance, at <strong>55&nbsp;%<\/strong> of your insurable earnings. In <strong>2026, the maximum amount is $729 per week<\/strong>.<\/p><p>To qualify you need <strong>600 insured hours of work<\/strong> in the 52 weeks before the start of your claim (or since your last claim, whichever is shorter), and your regular weekly earnings must have <strong>decreased by more than 40&nbsp;%<\/strong> for at least one week.<\/p><div class=\"ocb-band\"><p><strong>Practical tip.<\/strong> File your claim as soon as the leave begins, without waiting for your record of employment. Also check whether your employer offers short-term disability group insurance: it often comes before Employment Insurance.<\/p><\/div><h2>Where does the CNESST fit in?<\/h2><p>A psychological injury can be recognized as an employment injury, but every case is assessed individually. Two things to know:<\/p><ul><li>burnout <strong>does not appear as such<\/strong> in the regulated list of occupational diseases; among psychological conditions, only post-traumatic stress disorder carries a presumption;<\/li><li>without that presumption, the worker must show that the disease is characteristic of the work performed or directly related to the particular risks of that work.<\/li><\/ul><p>On the prevention side, the picture has changed. Since <strong>October 1, 2025<\/strong>, the Act respecting occupational health and safety requires employers to take the measures needed to protect a worker exposed in the workplace to physical or psychological violence. Work-related psychosocial risks (overload, low decision-making autonomy, lack of recognition or support, organizational justice, violence) must now be identified and managed like any other workplace hazard.<\/p><h2>Getting through the leave, not just enduring it<\/h2><p>The first weeks serve one purpose: recovering. After that, a useful leave tends to look like this:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Keep a minimum rhythm.<\/strong> Steady wake-up and bedtime, a bit of movement every day, some human contact.<\/li><li><strong>Do not decide your career right away.<\/strong> Resigning or switching fields are decisions to revisit later, once the exhaustion has lifted.<\/li><li><strong>Name what led here.<\/strong> Workload, lack of recognition, conflict, loss of meaning, personal circumstances: without that reading, the return often brings back the same script.<\/li><li><strong>Start a follow-up.<\/strong> That is where the therapeutic work happens, not in rest alone.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Preparing the return to work<\/h2><p>A return is prepared, not improvised. Gradual return, adjusted tasks, reorganized schedule, concrete strategies for managing workload and setting limits: this is exactly the ground covered by <a href=\"\/en\/services\/individual-therapy\/\">therapy<\/a> and <a href=\"\/en\/services\/occupational-therapy-mental-health\/\">occupational therapy in mental health<\/a>.<\/p><p>We set out the protections, the steps and the frequent questions on our full page: <a href=\"\/en\/work-leave-mental-health\/\">Work leave and mental health in Qu&eacute;bec<\/a>.<\/p><h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2><details><summary>How long does a burnout leave last?<\/summary><div><p>There is no standard length. The health professional assesses it, then reassesses along the way. The legal framework protects the employment relationship for up to 26 weeks in any 12-month period.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>Can my employer dismiss me during a leave?<\/summary><div><p>The Act respecting labour standards protects the employment relationship during the absence, within the limits it sets. For a specific situation, check with the CNESST or a legal advisor.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>Do I have to tell my employer it is burnout?<\/summary><div><p>You must give the reason for the absence, but the details of a diagnosis remain personal health information. The certificate provided attests to the incapacity and its expected duration.<\/p><\/div><\/details><details><summary>Can therapy start during the leave?<\/summary><div><p>Yes, and it is often the best moment.
