Client Procedures & Authorization to Quit Employment

Yukon Government

Client Procedures after February 1, 2010 for Service Providers

These procedures have been developed by the Program staff of the Department of Education, Advanced Education Branch, (AEB) and Service Canada.  They are designed to support service continuity for clients after transfer of EI Part II employment programming to the Yukon under the Labour Market Development Agreement and to clarify processes for Service Providers (EAS and Self Employment Coordinators). This document outlines procedures for Insured participants, Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) eligible clients; and Aboriginal Human Resource Development Agreement’s (AHRDA) clients.

The transferred programs for EI eligible clients are the Targeted Wage Subsidy (TWS), Self Employment (SE), Skills Development (SD)--including Apprentices, and Job Creation Partnerships (JCP). These programs are client focused and intended to prepare clients to obtain and maintain employment.

Employment Assistance Services (EAS Providers) will continue to provide services to unemployed people in the Yukon and are designed to enable people to participate in the labour market.  It is also intended to facilitate the functioning of the labour market. 

The intent of all of these programs is to enable eligible EI clients to obtain employment, by providing benefits to:
• encourage employers to hire them;
• help them start businesses or become self-employed;
• provide them with employment opportunities through which they can gain work experience to improve their long-term employment prospects; and
• help them obtain skills for employment, ranging from basic to advanced skills.

With the exception of Apprentices, a client’s very first course of action is to visit an Employment Assistance Service (EAS) Provider.  Once there the EAS will work with the client to determine what steps and supports are necessary to assist a client in locating sustainable employment.  Where appropriate a client will work with a professional case manager at an EAS and together they will develop a mutually agreed upon Return to Work Action Plan that will outline their steps to re-employment.

A Return to Work Action Plan (RTWAP) is developed by the individual and an Employment Assistance Service (EAS) Provider and is a requirement for participation in SD, SE, TWS, and JCP programs.  The RTWAP outlines the individual steps that are necessary; this can include numerous components such as resume assistance, career exploration, funded benefits (i.e. Skills Development) and many other activities.  Once the action plan has been completed the plan will determine what actions/steps a client should take. 

A)  Insured Participants:

The definition of an Insured Participant as defined by Section 58 of the Employment Insurance Act is:
The client, when requesting the assistance, is an unemployed person:
a. for whom a benefit period is established or whose benefit period has ended within the previous 36 months; or
b. for whom a benefit period has been established in the previous 60 months and who
i. was paid special benefits under section 22 or 23 (maternity or parental benefits) during the benefit period,
ii. subsequently withdrew from active participation in the labour force to care for one or more of their new-born children or one or more children placed with them for the purpose of adoption, and
iii. is seeking to re-enter the labour force.

If a client is considered EI eligible and is seeking a funded benefit (based upon their RTWAP), the EAS will support them in making application to a Program Officer.  The Program Officer, will then review and confirm the RTWAP and negotiate the financial assistance that would allow the client to participate in the intervention.  A Program Officer may provide one or all of the following benefits:

  • Self Employment
  • Skills Development
  • Targeted Wage Subsidy
  • Job Creation Partnership

Note:  All clients involved in a funded benefit (SD, SE, TWS, and JCP) will require a Section 25 EI referral. Section 25 waives the claimant’s obligation to be actively looking for work while on EI benefits. The decision to authorize this referral remains the responsibility of the Yukon Program Officer and can only be done once a client has completed a Return to Work Action Plan and is approved for a program benefit. Section 25 referral authorities and processes remain the same, and BC will be responsible for inputting Section 25 referrals.

Apprentice Clients
The only group not required to have a Return to Work Action Plan are apprentices.  Apprentices are unique Skills Development clients and there are special considerations for handling their applications and contracts. Apprentices are individuals that work towards achieving journeyperson qualifications. The apprenticeship program requires attendance in prescribed in-school technical training classes, as well as completion of a set number of hours in a work based training component. After completing the different levels of technical training, employment hours in the trade field, and the successful completion of a final exam the apprentice will acquire a journeyperson’s credential.
Registered apprentices should be referred to the Yukon Government’s Advanced Education Branch as they are not case managed clients.

Clients interested in first year trade courses who are not registered apprentices should be considered as regular SDEB clients and case managed.

Feepayer Clients

A Feepayer is an Employment Insurance (EI) client who requests and receives authorization from the Program Officer under Section 25 of the EI Act to continue to collect his/her EI benefits while attending approved training for which he/she is paying all training-related costs him or herself.
1. Feepayer Agreements entered into by Service Canada: Active Feepayer client agreements signed with Service Canada prior to February 1, 2010, regardless of the start date of their course will transfer to the Yukon, and will continue to be case managed by their EAS provider.

2. New Feepayer Agreements with Yukon: New Feepayer applications after February 1, 2010 will become the responsibility of Yukon.  A designated LMPS official will 1) assess/confirm Feepayer eligibility and 2) authorize Section 25 to allow eligible clients to continue to collect EI Part I Benefits while attending training.

3. Feepayers with Service Canada agreements whose circumstances change after February 1, 2010: In exceptional circumstances, if the financial situation for Feepayer clients whose agreements started prior to February 1, 2010 change after February 1, and warrant a reconsideration of Part II funding, please contact your designated LMPS official responsible for re-assessment.
 
4. SD/ Feepayer requests post February 1, 2010: If a client's RTWAP identifies a need for SD, the EAS case manager would assist the client in making application to LMPS.
      
Note:  Feepayer clients continue to be case managed by an EAS through Contact IV.

Targeted Initiative for Older Workers (TIOW):

The TIOW is designed to assist unemployed older workers to return to the labour force through a combination of in-class, work-based and individual employment preparedness programming.  The prime target group are those 55-64. The program is cost-shared between the federal and Yukon governments. Advanced Education administers the TIOW in Yukon and delivers it through Yukon College. For more information on TIOW, please contact Yukon College.

TIOW projects are targeted to unemployed older workers most in need. Although not targeted, older workers in receipt of Part I EI Benefits may participate in the TIOW program. Section 25 Authorization and Referrals are not required for TIOW participants who are active insured participants.

To ensure their EI Benefits are not impacted, insured participants need to contact Service Canada EI Part I officials for approval, prior to participation, either in person at their local Service Canada Centre or by calling:
• 1-800-206-7218 (English) and 1-800-808-6352 (French)
• 1-800-529-3742 (TTY)

Authorization to Quit

1.
Authority to Authorize Quits: As was the case in Service Canada, in exceptional circumstances, workers may be authorized to quit their jobs to participate in a Yukon funded LMPS EI Part II program.  Only Yukon designated LMPS officials will have the authority to authorize a quit to enable a client to participate in an LMPS Part II funded program. 

2. Policy Guidance: The current Service Canada Authorization to Quit Guidance will be followed. It has been revised to reflect Yukon terminology and reflects form and process changes where appropriate.

Authorization to Quit Employment Information and Process  pdf file

B) Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) Eligible Participants:

Key principles related to client service between federal and Yukon staff and service providers administering employment programs:
• Collaborative relationships between Service Canada staff working in the Labour Market and Development Programs, LMPS and service providers are encouraged to:
o support the smooth transitioning of LMPS programming;
o continuity and quality of client service; and
o harmonization of programming.
• Issues arising related to client service should be resolved at the local office level
As is the case with any unemployed job seeker legally entitled to work in Canada, Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF) eligible clients (Opportunities Fund (OF) for Persons with Disabilities (PWD) / Skills Link, Youth Awareness and Career Focus for Youth), will continue to be able to access a full range of Employment Assistance Services (EAS) services, including case management services.  This policy is unchanged from previous Service Canada policies in relation to EAS service access for CRF eligible clients.

1. Client Applications for CRF funded Interventions: If a CRF eligible client's Return to Work Action Plan (RTWAP) identifies a CRF funded intervention as appropriate, the EAS case manager would assist the client in making application to Service Canada.

2. Information Sharing between Yukon funded EAS’ and Service Canada:  In assisting a CRF eligible client in applying to Service Canada for a CRF funded benefit, new privacy considerations exist:
• EAS case managers can continue to assist clients in applying for Opportunities Fund and Youth programs, as they have in the past.  The client should be making the application and submitting the forms, not the service provider.
• Service providers no longer have a direct or contractual relationship with, and should not provide any client information directly to, Service Canada without ensuring appropriate measures are in place related to the protection of privacy.
• If a client needs a Service Provider to exchange information about the client with Service Canada related to a CRF funded application, it is the responsibility of the Service Provider and Service Canada to ensure that appropriate consents for release and sharing of information are in place.

3. Access to Self Employment (SE) Services for Opportunities Fund (OF) Clients: When SE is identified in the client's RTWAP as a necessary and appropriate option to assist the client in participating in the labour market and the client is OF eligible (ie not an ‘insured participant’), the client can be referred to the territorially funded SE provider only if the following apply:
• The EI Part II Yukon funded SE provider is determined to be the most suitable SE service option.
• The EI Part II Yukon funded SE provider is willing to provide service to the OF client.
• Only the incremental costs specifically related to the OF client participation can be charged to OF by the Part II Yukon funded SE Coordinator.
** EI Part II Yukon funded SE Coordinators must not charge Service Canada for any costs already paid for under their Part II Yukon funded agreement.

4. Non-insured Participants: If a client with a RTWAP that requires a funded benefit, who was originally thought to be an insured participant, is not, and qualifies instead as a CRF (OF or Youth) client:
• Normally, the client would be referred back to their case manager who would assist the client using the guidelines provided in Section 2 of this document: Client Applications for CRF funded Interventions.
• In situations where, because of the client ineligibility, there is urgency, staff and service providers are encouraged to collaborate to expedite the process in the interest of client service while ensuring compliance with Privacy legislation.
Clients who do not meet insured participant or CRF eligibility may be assisted with EAS services and/or referred to other appropriate programs and services in the community.

5. Contact IV (CIV) Procedures for CRF Funded Clients: Clients who participate in Youth and Opportunities Funded interventions will continue to be case managed by EAS case managers. In order to ensure that the Action Plans for these individuals upload properly, the manner in which these action plans are recorded will change slightly:
• Youth and Opportunities fund interventions must be recorded on a separate action plan from EI Part II funded (normally EAS) interventions.  If a client participates sequentially in a federal Youth or Opportunities Fund intervention and then in a Yukon funded EBSM  intervention (or vice versa), the first action plan must be closed, and a second action plan opened.  An export of the client file must be completed after the closure of the first action plan, and before the opening of the second action plan.  The resulting export file must be sent to the local Yukon office to be uploaded.  This is necessary to ensure that the Action Plan uploads properly from Contact IV to federal and Yukon CSGC systems. 
• EAS Case Manager funding agreements which are active at the time of the transfer to the Yukon will be converted to Yukon Agreements.  In order that Youth and Opportunities fund interventions upload properly, they must have a federal (i.e. not converted) agreement number recorded on the Client Identification screen of Contact IV.  EAS Case Managers need to enter their previous agreement number for their EAS agreement that ended before February 1, 2010 on the Client Identification screen for clients who will be participating in Youth or Opportunities funded interventions in order for the data to upload properly to the federal CSGC system.  This earlier agreement number, though inactive, would still be considered federal, and will permit the upload of the federal Opportunities and Youth funded intervention, where the active (Yukon) agreement number will not.
Please contact the Program Officer responsible for administering your funding agreement to provide further clarification related to CIV procedures.
C) Aboriginal Clients:
1. Aboriginal Human Resource Development Agreement (AHRDA) Client Access to LMPS Part II Funded Programs:  All Aboriginal unemployed job seekers can access LMPS Part II funded EAS services.  AHRDA clients who meet the eligibility criteria as an EI client can continue to access LMPS EI Part II funded programs, ie: Skills Development, Job Creation Partnerships, Self Employment and Targeted Wage Subsidies. 
2. Relationships and processes with AHRDA:  AHRDAs provide for client case management for their clients.  In the Yukon this is normally through Employment Training Officers (ETO’s) or their equivalent.

  • Information sharing between AHRDAs, LMPS staff and/or LMPS funded service providers necessary to support a client in accessing programs and services must meet privacy legislation requirements.
  • AHRDA clients accessing Yukon funded EI Part II employment programs are normally case managed through AHRDA.  However, it is the client’s option to select their case manager.  Care must be taken to ensure that a client does not have multiple open action plans for the same period with an AHRDA ETO, designated LMPS officials and/or LMPS funded service providers.
