As we navigate through this extraordinary situation together, the Atlantic Business Federation remains committed to providing you with all the relevant information and resources on government assistance programs as they become available. We understand that these are challenging times, and we would like to do all that we can to help our clients and members. Due to the fluid nature of the situation, the data provided in this email may become quickly outdated, but stay tuned to the various websites below to keep up with the newly added programs to protect the financial well-being of Canadians and the economy.
 
The two critical links from the Government of Canada you should bookmark are:

 
https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/canadas-reponse.html?topic=tilelink#economic
 
https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/2019-novel-coronavirus-infection/canadas-reponse/government-canada-takes-action-covid-19.html
 
We recognize that this is an uncertain point in time for businesses and that many organizations have been negatively impacted. To ensure that you are aware of the programs and assistance available to you, please see below for some of the Federal programs that are currently being offered to employers specifically:
 
1)      EI - Employment Insurance

https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/corporate/notices/coronavirus.html; Visit the EI sickness benefits page to apply

Please note that there are key differences if you have contracted the virus and are in quarantine. To understand how different scenarios are treated, please read everything thoroughly.  Contact the following numbers only if the above quarantine condition applies.

·         Telephone: 1-833-381-2725 (toll-free)
·         Teletypewriter (TTY): 1-800-529-3742
 
2)      Work-Sharing (WS) Program - Adjustment program designed to help employers and employees avoid layoffs when there is a temporary reduction in the average level of business activity that is beyond the control of the employer. Special measures have been taken to extend agreements from 38 weeks to 76 weeks across Canada for those affected in the forestry, steel and aluminum sector.
https://www.canada.ca/en/employment-social-development/services/work-sharing/temporary-measures-forestry-sector.html
