If the separation code is K – Other, the employer must complete the comment in block 18.

Service Canada has expanded the codes for reasons for issuing an ROE in the ROE SAT system – it allows company user to clearly specify the reason for which the ROE is being issued. It reduces the Comments in block 18 as well as reduces calls from the Service Canada processing agent to clarify the reason for issuing the ROE.
