Document background
The Employment Separation Certificate Online is a standardized digital document required by Canadian federal law when an employment relationship ends. It must be completed by employers whenever an employee experiences an interruption of earnings, such as termination, layoff, or resignation. This document serves multiple purposes: it enables employees to apply for Employment Insurance benefits, provides an official record of employment details, and ensures compliance with federal and provincial employment regulations. The certificate includes crucial information such as employment dates, reason for separation, final earnings, and insurable hours. As a digital submission, it streamlines the process for all parties involved while maintaining the security and privacy standards required by Canadian law.
