Work Sharing Information

Government of Canada Work-Sharing Program can help Employers avoid job cutting

The Work-Sharing Program (WSP) is designed to help employers and workers avert temporary layoffs. The program provides income support to workers eligible for Employment Insurance benefits and who are willing to work a temporary reduced work week when there is a reduction in the normal level of business activity that is beyond the control of the employer.

Visit the site shown below to read more about the program and eligibility criteria.
