Leave a commentOn March 15, 2009, the Government of Canada made two important changes to the Employment Insurance (EI) Regulations that affect employers who use electronic methods such as ROE Web to submit Records of Employment (ROEs): Employers can now issue electronic ROEs up to five calendar days after the end of the pay period in which the employee’s interruption of earnings begins; and employer who submit ROEs electronically are no longer required to print paper copies for their employees.
What information should employer provide to their employee?
- ROEs submitted electronically to Service Canada’s system are available immediately to support EI claims. Employers are no longer required to provide paper copies of ROEs to their employees.
- Employees who have registered with the My Service Canada Account online service may view and print a copy of their electronic ROEs on the same day the employer submits their ROEs to Service Canada.
- Employers should remind their employees to submit their EI applications as soon as they have stopped working.
