A Record of Employment (ROE) is required any time that an individual wishes to apply for Employment Insurance Benefits.  An ROE may be requested any time that the employment relationship ends for a period of more than 14 days, including:

• End of a temporary payroll authorization which will not be immediately renewed;

• Termination of employment by the College;

• Resignation from employment for alternate work;

• Resignation from employment for disability/illness (part-time only);

• Summer Layoff;

• Maternity or Parental Leave;

• Compassionate Care Benefits; etc.

ROE's are generated automatically when a full-time employee leaves the College, but must be specifically requested by a part-time employee or their manager.  Because part-time payroll is paid two weeks behind, it is necessary for the manager to provide Human Resources Services with the hours worked during the last pay period of employment.  This helps us to provide the employee with the requested ROE within the mandatory 5-day window.  The form can be downloaded by clicking here, or the information may be emailed directly to Ruben Sanchez.

Algonquin College has recently begun the transmission of ROE's via the internet, ensuring that your claim is immediately delivered to your local EI Office.  A copy will be provided to you and kept in your personnel file for a prescribed period of time.

Your ability to qualify for EI benefits depends on your employment history, the number of hours you have worked during the qualifying period, and the reason for which you have ended your employment.  For full details, please visit the Government of Canada website entitled Applying For EI Benefits, or contact your local EI Office.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or Feedback.
