A paper Record of Employment must be issued:

An employer who issues paper Records of Employment (ROE) must do so under several circumstances. The primary deadline is within five calendar days of the first day of an employee's interruption of earnings. An interruption of earnings occurs after seven consecutive calendar days with no work and no insurable earnings. The obligation to issue an ROE is also triggered if Service Canada directly requests one for a current or former employee. Since all listed scenarios represent valid conditions under which a paper ROE must be issued, "All of the above" is the correct answer.

A. This is a correct statement, but it is not the only condition under which a paper ROE must be issued, making it an incomplete answer.

B. This is the standard deadline, but other triggers exist, such as a request from Service Canada, making this option incomplete on its own.

C. This describes the event that triggers the issuance deadline, but it is not the only reason an ROE might be required.
