==Need for the Document==

*The agreement provides income support to employees eligible for Employment Insurance benefits who work a temporarily reduced work week while their employer recovers.

 
==Information which might help==
*A signed agreement will end if is not carried out within 60 calendar days of the agreement’s start date.
*An agreement that is not implemented would be where employees would have not experienced a reduction in work hours. Sufficient reduction to make Work-Sharing payable under this agreement should be done within 60 days of the beginning of this agreement.
*In both cases, if the applicant still wishes to participate in the Work-Sharing program, he/she will need to submit a new application.
