CEWS - Canadian Emergency Wage SubsidyFor Treasurers and Parish Wardens - From the Payroll Office For those parishes that have their payroll processed through the Diocesan Payroll Office you might have noticed a credit on your remittance advice for July titled CEWS. This Canadian Emergency Wage Subsidy was initially announced in March of 2020 as part of the Federal Government’s COVID 19 relief program. The initial program was for the period March 15 to June 6, 2020. To be eligible for the program employers (those with a CRA Payroll Remittance Number) must have seen prescribed reductions in revenue (30% per month). Subsequent announcements have indicated that the CEWS program will continue until December 31, 2020. While the announcements were made, the application had to wait for the legislation to be passed and the regulations to be written before the Diocese could make its application. As the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document from the Federal Government notes; “The rules have been modified substantially for the fifth (July 5 to August 1) and subsequent periods…” Note that the application for the period July 5 – August 1 cannot be filed until August 17, 2020.
