A Record of Employment (ROE) is a specific form for employers to file with Service Canada for any employee with insurable earnings who will have an interruption or earnings, either temporarily or permanently. An ROE is used by Service Canada to determine whether an employee qualifies for Employment Insurance (EI) benefits.
What is an electronic ROE?
An electronic ROE is submitted to Service Canada through an online process, and Spire does not print paper ROE’s. More than one employee ROE can be included in an electronic submission.
ROE Web is an efficient, reliable, secure, simple, and easy to use way of issuing an ROE electronically. Using ROE Web, you can create, submit, print, and amend ROE’s using the Internet. ROE Web gives you the flexibility to issue ROE’s according to your pay cycle.
- you can submit ROE’s through ROE Web by using Spire to upload ROE’s through the ROE Web portal
- you can submit ROE’s through ROE Web by manually entering data online through Service Canada’s website
When do I have to issue an ROE?
Regardless of whether the employee intends to file a claim for EI benefits, you have to issue an ROE:
- Each time an employee experiences an interruption of earnings; or
- When Service Canada requests one.
