Weathering Trump’s Tariffs ~ Work-Sharing Special Measures for Canadian Businesses
March 13, 2025
In our March 7, 2025 Briefing Note, Trump’s Tariffs Have Landed – How Can Canadian Employers Pivot?, we promised to keep readers apprised of any special measures introduced under Service Canada’s Work-Sharing Program (“Program”).
U.S. Tariff special measures are now in effect March 7, 2025 to March 6, 2026. An employer may be eligible to participate in the Program under these special measures if it experiences a decline in business activity attributable to the threat or realization of U.S. tariffs.
In this Briefing Note, we explain the Program both generally (in the ordinary course), and under the special measures now in place.
