Records of Employment in the COVID Era

Records of Employment in the COVID Era

Posted April 1, 2020

Employment and Social Development of Canada has issued specific directions to employers on how to complete Records of Employment where an employee has been directly affected by the coronavirus.

Their website notes:

“If your employees are directly affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) and they are no longer working, you must issue a Record of Employment (ROE).

When the employee is sick or quarantined, use code D (Illness or injury) as the reason for separation (block 16). Do not add comments.

When the employee is no longer working due to a shortage of work because the business has closed or decreased operations due to coronavirus (COVID-19), use code A (Shortage of work). Do not add comments.

When the employee refuses to come to work but is not sick or quarantined, use code E (Quit) or code N (Leave of absence), as appropriate. Avoid adding comments unless absolutely necessary.”
