Business Number

The Ontario government uses business numbers as easy way to identify employers. This number is in reference to your employer's Canada Revenue Agency Business Number. You can find this number on your Record of Employment (ROE). This number will help us check the identity of the business you are claiming has violated your employment standards rights. If you know this number, please write it on the form.

Is this Business: Still operating?

• Put a check mark (✓) in the “Still operating” box if your employer’s business is still operating, is still open or is still in business.
• Put a check mark (✓) in the “No longer operating” box if your employer’s business is no longer operating, has closed or shut down.

Note: If your employer is bankrupt or in receivership, and your employment has been terminated, please consult the federal government’s Wage Earners' Protection Program website www.servicecanada.gc.ca/eng/sc/wepp/index.shtml for more information on money you may be entitled to receive.
