IMPORTANT
ROE Guidance: Service Canada
When employees are directly affected by COVID-19 and are not working, an ROE must be issued. For Box 16 - Reason for Separation, please use the following codes but do not include comments:
​
The employee is sick or quarantined: Code D (Illness or Injury).
​
Employee stops working due to shortage of work or shutdown due to COVID-19 – Code A (Shortage of Work).
​
The employee is not sick or quarantined but not working due to other reasons related to COVID-19 – Code E (Quit) or Code N (Leave of Absence).
NOTE: Add comments only when required. Doing so causes the ROE to be pulled from the automatic processing queue for review by an agent, slowing down the process.
