»	Am I responsible if my employee becomes sick, has an accident, is hospitalized or needs home recovery?
	Your employee is entitled to sick leave as specified in provincial or territorial legislation. Do not force your employee to work if he or she is ill. Your employee should be covered under the required health or workers' compensation plan of the province or territory of work. Your responsibility depends on the coverage provided under these plans. Your employee may also be eligible to collect Employment Insurance sickness

»	What do Temporary Foreign Worker Units (TFWUs) do?
	Temporary foreign worker units (TFWUs) help to ease the entry of temporary foreign workers into Canada. The units offer guidance to employers and human resources agencies that want to employ foreign workers who are exempt from the labour market opinion/confirmation process, but still require a work permit. The TFWUs also provide advice on work permit exemptions. They pre-screen supporting documents from employers to streamline the application process and provide an opinion for the use of officers at the point of entry. As well, staff at the units pre-screen some documents submitted by foreign workers, such as academic or professional qualifications. These units also assist in individual cases with Canadian employers.
