       What is a Record of Employment (ROE)?A ROE is a registered document employers must complete and provide to each employee who stops working for them. The completed ROE indicates how long an employee worked for an employer, how many hours the employee worked, and the amount of insured earnings. It also indicates why they are no longer working. The ROE is used to determine if an unemployed worker who applies for Employment Insurance qualifies for benefits, how much the benefits will be and for how long they can be paid. Because of their important value, employers must keep Records of Employment in a secure location. Unemployed workers are advised to apply for Employment Insurance as soon as they become unemployed, even if they are still waiting for their ROE. To delay applying may result in the loss of benefits. Employers are encouraged to forecast their ROE requirements for a 6-month period when placing their order. Copyright © 1997
