Manitoba Back To Work This Summer Program

The Manitoba government launched the Manitoba Back to Work This Summer Program; a hiring program that provides assistance to Manitoba businesses by covering half of the wages paid to designated employees over the summer.

The goal of this program is to encourage private sector employers to bring back their employees or hire new employees.

Program Details

Employers who meet the below criteria can receive reimbursement of 50% of the total wages actually paid to designated employees over the ten-week period from June 1, 2020 to August 30, 2020, to a maximum of $5,000 per worker. Employers can apply to receive funding for a maximum of five positions.

The funding is only applicable for wages paid and employees hired on or after the date the employer submitted its application for this program.
