When laying off employees you will be required to file a Record Of Employment (ROE). An ROE must be filed whenever there is a change in the status of an employee including when a business is forced to close by the government.

Once the ROE is filed your employees will be able to apply for regular Employment Insurance benefits. In many jurisdictions, there is an exemption from giving or paying notice when a business needs to close due to unforeseen circumstances.
