Late Friday, a spokesperson confirmed the organization was investigating 600 of its workers suspected of 'inappropriately' receiving the $2,000-per-month CERB
Not all government employees are full time indeterminates and not all CRA employees work in money related jobs. Heck, CERB wasn’t handled by them alone, service Canada also made payments! If their contract expired or was ended early then what? When CERB was introduced communication wasn’t clear at all and even some employers thought people should apply for that instead of EI.
How could the be fired now if their contract expired in 2020?
Why were employers telling their former employees to not apply for EI? Why were people who lost their jobs listening to what their former employer telling them to do?
“We need to let you go but from what we understand you need to apply for CERB instead of EI”
As for the first question, term employees are usually rehired again and again with breaks between contracts so they don’t reach their 3 years of continuous employment making them indeterminate by default. My bet is that many just went on CERB instead of EI and now they’re in trouble because of that.
