Q: While on paternity/compassionate leave can Members contribute to WSP?

A: No, because parental and compassionate leave are government-paid leaves. These are mandated under the Canada Labour Code. You would be collecting EI during this time, and since EI is paid by the government, and not WestJet, you would not be contributing.
