Record of Employment (ROE) Web: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how employers can electronically submit employment history to help former employees access employment insurance benefits.
The Record of Employment (ROE) Web is an online system used by employers to electronically submit an employee's employment history to the government. This document is necessary for former employees to determine if they are eligible for employment insurance benefits.
Who it's for
This service is specifically for employers who need to issue an ROE for employees who are leaving their company.
What you get
By using this digital system, you can submit employment history electronically. This helps ensure that the information needed to process employment insurance claims is sent directly to the relevant authorities.
What it costs you
While there is no direct fee to use the service, there is a strict time requirement. You must submit the electronic record within five days of the end of the pay period in which an employee's employment ends.
The catch to know
The most common issue occurs in the "Reason for Separation" field. Using an incorrect separation code can cause significant delays in the employee's ability to receive their employment insurance claims.
How to apply
- Access the official online portal.
- Enter the required employment and income details for the departing employee.
- Carefully select the correct separation code to explain why the employee is leaving.
- Submit the electronic record through the portal.
