PRODUCE WEB ROE FORM#

For Canadian users, the capability to send an interface file to the Human Resources And Social Development Canada (HRSDC) web site to print the Record of Employment on the web (ROE WEB) is provided.

In prior years, HRSDC allows employers to download the ROELaser.exe program to print ROE from an interface file with ROELaser format. This ROELaser facility is not available on the web to employers for download any more. The ROELaser facility may be obsolete in the future by the government. HRSDC.has developed the ROE Web application for employers to print ROE on the web.

If you have downloaded the previous ROELaser before, you can continue to use the ROELaser.exe program to print ROE by running the UPROE function until ROELaser is obsolete by the government. For employers who do not have the ROELaser program or who wish to migrate to ROE Web, please run the UPROEF function and refer to this document for detail ROE Web processing.
