The goal of the program is to avert or reverse layoffs, and it is expected that employees are kept employed even if they cannot do the work from home due to the pandemic.
Employees are eligible for CRCEF support while staying at home and when returning to work on campus, over the eligibility period (i.e., for a maximum of 24 weeks).
The institution must absorb the extension costs of the employment beyond the eligibility period of the wage support.
