Any insight appreciated – can we reduce hours drastically (assuming collective agreements and employees allow for it etc.) and have employees work each week, but reduce hours enough to be eligible to receive CERB?

Yeah, you got it right. Not in love with the phrasing of the reapplication Q. Here’s how CRA words it. Never hurts to use the government language verbatim.

• You are applying for the first time
  For at least 14 days in a row during the 4-week payment period, you do not expect to receive more than $1,000 (before taxes) from employment and self-employment income
• You are re-applying for another period
  You do not expect your situation to change during this 4-week period and you do not expect to receive more than $1,000 (before taxes) from employment and self-employment income
