The province is encouraging businesses to bring old and new employees back to work by enhancing its Back to Work program.
Businesses will be reimbursed 50 per-cent of wage costs up to $5,000 for every employee hired or re-hired between July 16th and October 31st.
The government announced they`re doubling the number of employees that are covered under the program, from 10 to 20. This boosts the maximum level of financial support available to employers from $50,000 to $100,000.
In order to be eligible, businesses can`t have funding from another government program. The application deadline is October 1st.
