COVID-19 wage and hiring support for businesses
As an employer in Canada who has seen a drop in revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic, you may be eligible for a subsidy to cover part of the wages you paid employees. This subsidy helps you to re-hire workers, prevent further job losses, and ease your business back into normal operations.
