UNE has received notice that Rideau Carleton Casino will temporarily shut down all operations until further notice. During this closure, staff will be placed on temporary layoff and issued a Record of Employment (ROE). This can be used to apply for Employment Insurance. The Canadian Government has reduced the usual two-week waiting period to one.
To minimize financial impact of this transition, employees are encouraged to complete the following steps.
- Read this communication from the employer
- Download Hard Rock Ottawa’s employee App
- Consult the Guide for Hard Rock Systems (link)
Employees who wish to use their earned vacation and lieu time should email hrnotify@hrcottawa.com.
To apply for Employment Insurance, you need a Service Canada Account.
