Records of Employment
The Record of Employment (ROE) is a document that establishes an Employment Insurance (EI) claim. The information on the ROE determines a person's qualifications for EI benefits, the duration of the benefits and the benefit rate. In March, 2009, the Government of Canada made some changes to the EI regulations that affect employers who submit ROEs electronically.
