Limiting access to federal recovery benefits during the mandatory quarantine

▤ Summary

As a result of this announcement, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) will update the application process for CRB, CRCB and CRSB. Rather, these benefits were put in place to ensure Canadian workers could continue to make ends meet during the pandemic, and that no Canadian would have to make the choice between putting food on the table or going to work sick.” As of January 7, 2021, air travellers five years of age or older are required to present a negative COVID-19 test result to the airline prior to boarding international flights bound for Canada. The general rule is that people still have private lives and employers do not have the right to interfere in what an employee does in his or her personal life. However, employers have a right to set limits to protect the legitimate interests of their business and to ensure a safe and healthy workplace for all employees. Employers have no legitimate reason to prevent employees from personal travel in their spare time.
