In BC, a Record of Employment (ROE) is more than just paperwork — it’s a crucial legal document that can directly affect whether an employee qualifies for Employment Insurance (EI) benefits.

• What ROE codes like “M” for dismissal actually mean
• What to do if your ROE is late, missing, or incorrect
