Recently a number of provinces and territories have issued
orders or Special Measures restricting interprovincial travel.
These interprovincial travel restrictions vary from province to
province and many have exceptions for certain types of travel, in
particular for the commercial transportation of goods and
services.
Employers should be aware of these new restrictions, and how
they will impact their employees and operations. Employees who must
self-isolate for 14 days are not permitted to attend the workplace,
but they could work from home, if possible.
If an employee cannot work due to self-isolation, then they may
be eligible for EI Sickness Benefits. More information on EI can be
found here.
