Work-Sharing Program

The Work-Sharing Program is an adjustment program offered by the Government of Canada designed to help employers avoid layoffs during temporary reductions in normal business activities that are beyond the employer’s control. This program allows employers to retain skilled employees during challenging times by sharing available work among staff, with income support provided through Employment Insurance.
