To make things easier for employers, Paid Leave has partnered with Unemployment Insurance (UI). The first important step for employers to prepare for Paid Leave is to review your UI employer account, if you have one, and create a Paid Leave Only account if you need one. This webinar was designed to help employers better understand how these accounts will support your role and responsibilities under Paid Leave.
