Here is how EI works this year:
One of our TVOT members would like to pass along this new information about Employment Insurance in our area.
For new employees: To be in a position to qualify in the future for regular benefits, new entrants need 910 hours of insurable hours. Apply anyway using the group code 3511012015201506 noted in the OT Conference on First Class. (Code is valid until July 24.)
Returning claimants presently need 700 insurable hours (100 working days) to receive regular benefits. http://srv129.services.gc.ca/eiregions/eng/rates_cur.aspx
This number, (based on current unemployment rates), is in effect until July 11. OTs who did not work for 100 days can refer to the following site on July 12 and apply then if the number of hours required goes down. Use group code.
