The Wage Earner Protection Program Act protect workers in Canada who lose their job and are owed earned wages when their employer goes bankrupt or becomes subject to a receivership. It does this by advancing to workers payment for eligible wages before insolvency proceedings are completed.

This legislation required the completion of a one-time, five-year review of the Act and the administration and operation of the Wage Earner Protection Program.

Sheil Communications was contracted to research and write this review report, which was tabled in Parliament in June 2015.
