✳️Attention all contract, gig, or part-time workers✳️ We just announced we're making the Canada Emergency Response Benefit more flexible so that you’re not left behind. If you earn $1000/month or less, you are now eligible & the CRA portal will be updated soon so you can apply.

Big news today for young entrepreneurs & high-growth firms. We’ve heard that since you don’t qualify for the wage subsidy – you still need help. Today’s announcement of $270 million to Futurpreneur & the Industrial Research Assistance Program is for innovators like you.

We conducted a survey to learn more about what #HR leaders are doing to manage pay planning for employees, as #COVID-19 distancing—and budgeting—measures continue. Read the survey findings: conferenceboard.ca/research/worki…
