Update of Government COVID 19 Measures and Orders

Update of pandemic measures and government Orders

As restrictions are being eased and COVID-19 begins to have less of an impact on our business and personal lives, I thought it might be helpful to review and remind you of the status of some of the assistance programs and regulations governments created over the past 15 months.

Some of these programs have been extended, and others have deadlines approaching.

Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy (CEWS)

in June some changes were made to the CEWS and a new Canada Recovery Hiring Program (CRHP) was introduced, beginning June 6, 2021

Work-Sharing Program – COVID-19

the program has been extended to September 26, 2021 and the duration of the program has been extended to 76 weeks

I have provided details and dates for these programs below, along with links to the relevant government web pages.

Government Orders

A number of clients have also contacted me with questions about the status of some of the Public Health and government Pandemic Response Measures.

In addition to the information about the assistance programs, I am providing a list of government Orders, both those still in place and those that have been revoked, for your reference as they apply to your particular circumstances.

If you have seen a drop in revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be eligible for a subsidy to cover part of your employee wages. This subsidy is designed to enable you to re-hire workers, help prevent further job losses, and ease your business back into normal operations.

June 2021 changes to the CEWS as of claim period 17 (Bill C-30):

wage subsidy extended to September 25, 2021
new Canada Recovery Hiring Program (CRHP) was introduced, beginning June 6, 2021
- for claim periods 17 to 20, claim either CEWS or CRHP, whichever provides you the larger amount
beginning in claim period 18, you must have had a revenue drop of over 10% to receive the CEWS or CRHP
rate of CEWS will gradually decline from claim periods 18 to 20
eligible remuneration paid to employees on leave with pay is no longer included in the CEWS calculation as of claim period 20

Certain publicly listed corporations may have to repay some or all of the CEWS received from June 6, 2021, onward, depending on compensation paid to certain executives in 2021 as compared to 2019.

Work-Sharing Program – COVID-19

Work-Sharing is an agreement between employers, employees and the Government of Canada to help employers and employees avoid layoffs when there is a temporary decrease in business activity beyond the control of the employer. The program provides Employment Insurance (EI) benefits to eligible employees who agree to reduce their normal working hours and share the available work while their employer recovers.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, all Work-Sharing agreements fall under the COVID-19 temporary special measures.
