COVID-19 Wage Subsidy Update
Things are moving very quickly and our government is making announcements nearly every day on their action plans to keep us all safe and to support us during these unprecedented times.
One of the supports Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has announced is a payroll subsidy which we know is of high interest to many of our clients. Here’s what we know about this so far:
- It will be provided to eligible small businesses, including corporations eligible for the small business deduction, and non-profit organizations and charities.
- The wage subsidy is equivalent to 10% of remuneration paid, up to maximum of $1,375 per employee and $25,000 per employer.
- Duration of the subsidy is for a 3 month period.
- The subsidy can be implemented by reducing the income tax remittance withheld from the employee’s pay.
The government intends to introduce special legislation around the announced supports, which we hope will provide additional details on for whom, when, and how to accurately implement this subsidy. Once we know more, we will communicate with you and make necessary adjustments to our system for all clients who are eligible.
We understand that the impacts of COVID-19 are weighing heavily on your minds, including the effects to your employees and business. It is on ours too and we want you to know that we are doing our best to gather the details on how we can help you with the announced government changes and initiatives.
Stay well,

Inclusion System extends our profound respect and immeasurable gratitude to all the ancestors and keepers of the land on whose traditional territories our work takes place. We acknowledge that we are on Treaty 1 territory, the traditional gathering place of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene people and the traditional homeland of the Métis people. This land is sacred, historical, and significant.
Every time we acknowledge this truth, we have an invitation and an opportunity to reflect on the wrongs of the past, what we do in the present, and what we can do to continually honour the people whose lands and water we benefit from today.
This statement only acts as a first step in honouring the land we reside on and its peoples, and must be paired with education, understanding and informed action.
