Grants in support of Compensation for Employers of Reservists Program
Employers of Reservists and self-employed Reservists may be eligible for funding under the Compensation for Employers of Reservists Program (CERP). The purpose of the CERP is to:
- Provide financial support to civilian employers of Reservists and/or self-employed Reservists, to offset operational costs they incur when Reservist employees deploy on full-time operational duty (Chief of Defence Staff directed operation), both domestically and abroad.
- Enable Reservists to be more fully integrated alongside the Canadian Armed Forces Regular Force.
- Enable a better understanding of the role of Reservists in the military, their places of employment and in their communities.
Service Canada (SC) is administering this program on behalf of the Department of National Defence(DND). Application information available at the Government of Canada
