Employment Insurance Canada Eligibility
I work for my dad – I have yet to pay Employment Insurance?
When it comes to work in Canada, most of us only see a fraction of what they really earn in the average workweek. The reason? Canada is a "socialized" country, and that means we have a lot programs at work that are designed to make life less expensive for those who have least afford it. These programs are funded by taxes, and taxes come in many different ways.
One of the most misleading of these taxes is what is known as Employment Insurance. Not only is the misleading name (paying these fees does not guarantee employment, the goal is to keep people pay when they are unemployed), but really does not work in safe mode should in no way is optional. Most of the time the Employment Insurance premiums are paid by the employee and the employer before the paycheck is delivered. Of course, when it comes to claim his insurance benefits you can expect the Canadian government to operate like any insurance program, that is, good luck actually see some of that money back!
If exceptions there rules for payment of the IE?
Operating as a tax is not the only way in which employment insurance shows the unique brand of government operation. You can also almost impossible to know the specifics of the program, beyond the fact that several officials believe should be paid. In researching this article, A glance at various sites, including Members of the government site, and contacted and MLAs across the country and of course various bureaucratic offices, and no one seemed to know for sure whether Employment Insurance operates as a payment plan option for self-employed person or is a requirement, after all, if you lose your job in this case, you are not eligible for EI payments.
But what if you work for a family member? Well, it seems a little clearer in this case, although not written in English (or French!) Anywhere. Companies should contribute to employment insurance program, and elements contributions are made by employees. Thus, the bottom of the IE has become so great that probably never spent.
Therefore, no matter who owns the company that you work, the odds are pretty good that you will pay in this scheme of government-sponsored insurance. Rest easy, however, because if you meet the points A to Z, could only be covered in the event of a tropical storm.
