Membership Renewals & Maternity Leave,
Short Term Illness & Leaves of Absence Up to One Year
It is the policy of the NSCMLT that MLTs on maternity leave, short term illness (STI), or those who will be taking a leave of absence for a year, are required to renew their appropriate licence at the stated deadlines.
Such individuals still hold a MLT position and more than likely will return to practice within the following year; and therefore, will require their practising licence prior to returning to practice. This is meant to cover the majority of instances. If there is an unusual circumstance, e.g. the maternity leave will fall Jan 1 and the individual will take additional time to Dec 31, than the MLT should contact the College for further information. This policy saves on paperwork and ensures the individual has the proper licence when they return to practice. It also allows the office to run more efficiently with less people.
