That benefit is going to be a massive help. I am pregnant with our first child, and I’m able to work from home but my husband had to stop work right away and is self employed.

Then I came home and placed my very first online order with Loblaws for April 2nd. I was so happy to find out I could add items until the day before my order, only to discover last night Loblaws cut that off. I'm not impressed.
Congrats on your first Disney baby!That benefit is going to be a massive help. I am pregnant with our first child, and I’m able to work from home but my husband had to stop work right away and is self employed.
Thanks for not blasting me into the middle of next week for my unnecessary rant! I just went back and edited my post to remove a bunch of my harsh words -- maybe you could sorta kinda, delete my comment within yours?Sorry about your situation Jacqueline! Stay positive and healthy dear!
Just did! No worries!!Thanks for not blasting me into the middle of next week for my unnecessary rant! I just went back and edited my post to remove a bunch of my harsh words -- maybe you could sorta kinda, delete my comment within yours?
Sorry for dumping on all of you. My anxiety level is off the charts right now and I made the mistake of posting while still groggy eyed and hangry. We'll get thru this just fine, the company actually has enough in the bank to get us thru till mid-july, it has been a banner couple of months up till this point (thank god!!), our mortgage is gone and we have no outstanding debts. We're extremely fortunate and we know it!!
...our mortgage is gone and we have no outstanding debts
Yes we are all fortunate that many years ago you created this sub forum so that we can have somewhere to talk about things (not just airmiles related). We will all get thru this and will have many more air miles bonuses to chat about.We're extremely fortunate and we know it!!
Thanks, this isn't new to us, business has been active for over 17 years now and hubby is very well versed in what he needs to do and how to go about it. The problem is waiting for the updated information regarding the Wage Subsidy, the information comes from THIS PAGE but the info there is still "old" (odd that something from March 18th is already considered old!) and dealing with the 10%. If anyone is interested in what i was originally ranting about you can take some of your free-time and glance at this Might also be interested to know that we will in fact need to treat this "subsidy" as taxable income for the company <sigh>Jacqueline...I found this on the CRA website...it appears that there is this service for small businesses...maybe they could assist with your queries...

I think this is a place we can all vent. My business is also in a bad spot. I work under a government contract and they can do what they want to me. I was shut down on March 16th via text message from a friend that said....have you heard yet. Then 2 or 3 days later I actually got an email about it. It really doesn't surprise me though, they are very unprofessional on a lot of fronts. I've since heard that they had been discussing shutting me down the week before. Had someone actually taken a minute to say that they might close us down we could have worked all weekend and gotten a little more done. I've got staff that have known since day one that we deal with outbreaks on a regular basis and that they are going to have some time off, without warning and without pay....typically a week or so a couple of times a year. My staff are all subcontractors and as such they work as self employed. So I won't even be thinking about the 75% wage subsidy but even if it was applicable I couldn't possibly pay them anything. When we do finally get working again I will have to pay them out of my own pocket as it will take 5-6 weeks until I have any money in my account. I'm already worrying about the work load when we get back....the work waits and piles up. I have a feeling that it will be the end of April or later. I'm also worried that I will lose my assistant. She's only part time and has another PT job that she makes a lot more money at. I can't function on a normal day without her so I would never be able to get through the back log without help.while this is completely off topic for this thread I really feel a special connection with everyone here so I'm going to share info regarding the new wage subsidy as soon as we have complete information available. Hubby has his own company and while he only has a few employees at any given time (hires co op students) when he does, wages can be his largest expense. There's still a bunch of unknown about this but don't for one minute think the government is going to be giving us 75% of what we pay his employees! I'll gladly eat these words if I'm proven wrong once the concrete details are online.
sorry if this comes across as rude and harsh but I'm getting tired of seeing the tired drawn face of my poor hubby as he worries about either keeping his students and paying them or letting them go and then still needing to do the work. He's lost all of the training income which is about 65% of the company's revenue. The people he's doing the programming for still want the work done and there aren't enough hours in the day.
Edited to delete some of my rather harsh words, sorry gang!
