CALGARY Some frontline workers deemed essential under previous public health restrictions say they’re frustrated to discover they do not qualify for the recently announced Critical Worker Benefit. The joint federal-provincial program will issue a one-time $1,200 cheque to about 380,000 eligible Alberta workers this spring, meant to act as a sort of retroactive danger pay. Among workers eligible for the benefit are grocery store clerks, gas station attendants, retail sales supervisors, couriers and security guards. Peter Corry is semi-retired and works as a clerk at a large grocery chain’s liquor store. He performs a job very similar to grocery store clerks who perform the same work for the same employer. His counterparts will receive a cheque. Corry will not.
