I think the context is very important. I think Canadian labour laws are very reasonable as a general rule. Anything else really depends on the situation.
Let's take the time off without pay outside of emergencies as an example.
Let's say Jarome Iginla wanted to take the month of March off, and he gave this notice to the Flames well in advance. Even before the regular season started. Should they grant it? I think it is reasonable that they wouldn't outside of an emergency situation. If he wanted the flexibility to be able to take this time off, he should not be a professional hockey player.
