Introduction to the Work-Sharing Program with Service Canada

Description

The Work-Sharing Program helps employers and employees avoid layoffs when:

• there is a temporary decrease in the normal level of business activity, and
• the decrease is beyond the control of the employer

The agreement provides income support to employees eligible for Employment Insurance benefits who work a temporarily reduced work week while their employer recovers. All employees participating in the agreement must experience a minimum 10% reduction to their normal weekly earnings to comply with the terms of the agreement.
