Looking for paper Record of Employment (ROE) forms?  Service Canada has (again) updated the ordering process.  It looks like there is now one telephone number for all of Canada.  As of the date of this posting, that phone number is 1-800-367-5693.

UPDATE:  click on this link for current ordering information.

I talked a few weeks back about how to register for the ROE Web service.  Many employers still prefer the old paper Record of Employment (ROE) forms.  And many people seem to have a bit of trouble with finding out how to order these forms.  I’m posting a link here that should help the cause. Each province has their own telephone number.

Also, when you call there is a good chance you will talk to an answering machine, not a real person.  So be prepared in advance to give your payroll number, your business name and address, and be ready to state how many forms you want.

I still recommend that you register for the ROE Web service.  It’s so much nicer!

Is it your job in your business to issue layoff papers, also known as separation papers, and officially known as Record of Employment forms?  If so, have you signed up for the ROE Web service yet?  It doesn’t make preparing an ROE exactly fun, but it sure takes some of the pain out of the job!

But be prepared.  It’s not a walk in the park to get registered.  Maybe you’ll all find it easier than I did.  Share your experiences of how you manage!
