More support for Alberta businesses

By Murray Green

Alberta’s government will bring in new supports for businesses implementing the Restrictions Exemption Program.

In response to the latest public health actions, government is providing funding to help offset costs of implementing the Restrictions Exemption Program (REP) and support training for workers.

“We’ve been committed to listening to Alberta businesses throughout the pandemic and we’re taking action to respond to their needs. These new supports will help with the costs businesses incur to implement the proof of vaccination measures,” said Doug Schweitzer, Alberta Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation.

Alberta’s government will soon offer a one-time payment of $2,000 to Alberta small- and medium-sized businesses that are eligible for and choose to implement the Restrictions Exemption Program, requiring proof of vaccination, a negative test result or medical exemption.

Businesses eligible for the REP Implementation Grant can use the funding as they see fit.

Alberta is the first jurisdiction in Canada to offer businesses a payment to offset costs associated with a proof of vaccination program.

It is anticipated that application intake for the payment will be open in the next four to six weeks. More details on the program, including full eligibility criteria, and information on where and how to apply, will be shared once finalized.

An additional $1 million will also be available for training to support the safety of workers when implementing the Restrictions Exemption Program.

Eligible industry associations across Alberta can use the REP Training Grant to develop or procure training to help workers assess and manage challenging situations that may arise during their daily work. Workers and employers will be able to access this training through select industry associations.

“Alberta workers deserve to be treated with respect as they do their jobs on the frontlines to implement the Restrictions Exemption Program. By providing this funding, workers will have the tools they need to work safely and the skills and confidence to effectively manage challenging situations and professionally communicate COVID-19 safety requirements,” said Tyler Shandro, Alberta Minister of Labour and Immigration.

Government will introduce legislation to protect businesses that require vaccinations for employees or implement the Restriction Exemption Program from legal challenges.

The government will also be doubling fines for contravening public health orders, including the mistreatment of workers doing the difficult work ensuring public health orders are being followed, from $2,000 to $4,000.

“Alberta small businesses are under an immense amount of stress and many face a long uphill battle to economic recovery. Today’s announcement will help small businesses adjust to the new restrictions and ease their concerns about legal and liability ramifications of implementing proof of vaccination in the workplace. CFIB thanks the Alberta government for listening to the voices of small businesses and acting on many of our recommendations as it relates to mandating proof of vaccination,” added Annie Dormuth, director, Provincial Affairs for Alberta, Canadian Federation of Independent Business.

“Businesses need support to survive in our everchanging health environment. Today’s announcement acknowledges this, providing assistance for businesses participating in the REP program. These training grants will help keep business owners, employees, and patrons safe and our economy moving,” said Ken Kobly, president and CEO, Alberta Chambers of Commerce.

“Throughout the pandemic, businesses have faced significant uncertainty. What they need now is clarity on critical issues like vaccination policies for employees, and direct support to implement vaccination certification and keep front-line workers safe. Today’s announcement brings clarity on the path forward, and prioritizes vaccinations and public health so that we can safely reopen our economy and protect our community,” shared Deborah Yedlin, president and CEO, Calgary Chamber of Commerce.
