How about compensating the Self Emlpoyed !! No Hutzle no money!!

Be careful everyone DON'T GO THIS ROUTE, ALL the 'helpful payouts' the Liberal/Governments are bragging about giving come w/ MAJOR W.E.F STRINGS ATTACHED!! These are TOOLS to make people DEPENDENT ON THE GOV SO THEY CAN CONTROL UR FINANCES/SPENDING IE LIKE THE C.C.P! FORD IS WEF!

Why that’s what unemployment ins is for

Great... they'll ensure businesses have better advantages and the laid off employee has less.

Common law works just fine, it's just that most people don't know how it works.

How many Ontarians have been terminated from their WFH employment positions without notice or compensation during the past 3 years? This is *the* question that no one at CTV appears interested in asking.

Sounds ridiculous to me. If you get fired or laid off the company should not be responsible paying you for 2 months.

Excellent, WFH was not supposed to turn employees into contractors. If you're WFH and a full time employee, you should be, legally, no different than an in office worker.
