Work‑Sharing – What You Need Before You Apply

Before applying to Canada’s Work-Sharing Program, employers and employees must prepare specific documents, assign representatives,
and define the Work-Sharing unit. This ensures the application is complete and all parties understand their responsibilities.

Employer Responsibilities

Appoint an employer representative with signing authority (cannot be part of the Work-Sharing unit).
Submit two forms: EMP5100 (Application) and EMP5101 (Work-Sharing Unit Attachment A).
Ensure all parties (employer, employee rep, and union rep if applicable) attest to the application.

Employee/Union Representative Responsibilities

Authorized to represent employees in the Work-Sharing unit.
Work with employer to complete application forms.
Ensure workers understand their roles and receive required documents (such as “Applying for EI Work-Sharing Benefits” and the Employee Annex).
Sign EMP5100 and EMP5101 to confirm employee agreement.

The Work-Sharing Unit

Must include employees with the same or similar work, or roles that interconnect.
All members must be able to reduce hours by the same percentage and share work fairly.
If work increases, extra hours must also be distributed equally among the unit.
