When to calculate CRHP base period remuneration
If you are eligible for the CRHP, you will need to calculate your base period remuneration amount to use in periods 17 to 22 calculations.
The CRHP base period remuneration is:
- the total eligible remuneration paid to all your active employees (i.e. not on leave with pay)
- paid from March 14 to April 10, 2021 (the same dates as CEWS period 14)
- limited to $1,129 per week, per employee (non-arm's-length employees are further limited to the lower of their weekly or pre-crisis remuneration)
This is not the same as the CEWS total remuneration and was not provided as part of your CEWS period 14 summary, unless you calculated for period 14 after the latest update on June 30, 2021.
Only calculate once
Because the base period for CRHP remuneration is the same for all claim periods 17 to 22, you only need to calculate this once to use in all your future CRHP calculations.
Active eligible employees
In addition to the CRHP base period remuneration, you will also need to save the number of active eligible employees (not on leave with pay) during the base period for your future CRHP calculations.
Include employees that are no longer employed
You must include all your active eligible employees paid during the base period (March 14th to April 10th, 2021), even if they are no longer employed by you during the claim period.

10% Temporary Wage Subsidy for Employers reduction
Line F – 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy for Employers reduction
For claim periods 5 and later, the amount for this line will be 0.
For periods 1 to 4, you will need to calculate the amount of your 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy (a separate program) that applies to this CEWS claim period before you enter it at Line F.
Generally, the 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy for Employers is equal to:
10% of the remuneration you paid from March 18 to June 19, 2020, up to $1,375 for each eligible employee
The total maximum of the temporary subsidy is $25,000 per employer.
CEWS and the 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy for Employers are intended to provide total support of up to 75%, not 75% + 10%. If you are eligible for both wage subsidies for a claim period, any amount you calculate under the 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy for Employers in the period will reduce the amount available for you to claim under the CEWS in that same period.
You may choose to have the 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy be less than 10% of the remuneration you paid so that you can receive a higher amount of Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. If you enter 0 as your amount for the 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy for Employers in your CEWS application, the CEWS will be determined as if you are electing 0% as the prescribed percentage for 10% Temporary Wage Subsidy for Employers, and are requesting the maximum amount of CEWS instead.
