6.8 What is a work certificate and does my employer have to give me one?

You can ask your employer to give you a work certificate when your job ends.

The work certificate does not state if you were a good worker or not. It just gives details about your work.

A work certificate is not a Record of Employment, which your employer must give you when you stop work. You need the Record of Employment if you are going to apply for employment insurance benefits.
