I am grateful for that question. The information that is posted regarding this program on the website does indicate that any employee whose employer is not a member or not participating in the program can call the Department of Finance. There are numbers and email contacts that are listed on the website as I understand, and the reason being that an employee can apply directly. They can provide their paystub, and the Department of Finance will ensure that they get that top-up.

However, what we have been doing is that, when an employee contacts the department, makes us aware that there is an employer who has not participated or is not participating, it's an opportunity for us to reach out. To date, that has been a way that, in fact, we are able to get more employers involved, which then benefits not only the employee who raises it but all of the employees who may be affected. I am happy to give that information out. We are continuing to try to get that word out.
