In order to better represent the size of the applicant size is determined by the number of T4 slips issued for tax year (TY) 2020 by the payroll number of the CEWS applicant and not the number of employees that benefit from the program. As information for TY2020 is not yet complete TY2019 and TY2018 T4 slips were used to complement TY2020 data. As size is based on information from prior tax years it may not reflect the current size of the applicant. T4 slips for TY2020 were incorporated into the statistics effective September 12 2021. Consequently the distribution of recipients by size may have shifted from previous data releases as the statistics using T4 slips for TY2020 depict a more recent representation of the applicant's size. 2. 'Not Available' indicates that T4 information for the applicant is not available for either TY2020 or TY2019. 3. As employers may submit a separate CEWS claim for each period the total number of employees for all periods can result in double counting if summing all periods together. As a result the totals for employee and average per employee are not displayed. The total number of applications does not represent the number of unique employers. 4. All counts are rounded to the nearest ten. Approved CEWS amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand. Average amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar. Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole percentage. 5. The sum of the data may not add to the total due to rounding. 6. Number of employees are as reported on Line A and Line AA of the CEWS application. For periods 5 and subsequent Line A is the number of eligible active employees. Line AA is only applicable from Period 5 onward and is represented by “-” (not applicable) for periods 1 through 4. 7. CEWS amounts are as calculated on Line H on the CEWS application. 8. Data were produced on May 23 2022. Data are from Canada Revenue Agency source systems as of May 22 2022 11:59:59PM. 9. A hyphen [-] indicates that the information has been suppressed for confidentiality purposes. Suppressed information also includes valid zeros. 10. Data are subject to change as claims are received reviewed and adjusted. 11. As CEWS claims can be retroactively submitted for any claim period that is open for application data for open periods are not yet complete. While older periods are no longer open for application data for all claim periods are subject to change. 12. These data are compiled for CEWS claims that have been approved. CEWS applications currently under assessment or reassessment are excluded pending approval.
