Purpose

The Worker Retention Grant provides funding to employers with an approved and implemented Work-Sharing agreement. Employers can use this funding to provide a weekly income top-up to workers who have reduced hours and are taking training while receiving Work-Sharing Employment Insurance (EI) benefits. The WRG is designed to increase uptake of training for workers while on WS to improve resiliency during the adjustment period by, helping workers maintain employment while receiving a larger proportion of total income through the grant.
