benefit entitlements

By Michele Glassford | 2 Minutes Read November 1, 2016

EI waiting period changes January 1, 2017

As reported by Yosie Saint-Cyr in the October 24, 2016 edition of HR Infodesk, the federal Employment Insurance Act was amended on June 22, 2016, in part to decrease the waiting period for benefits to commence from two weeks to one week. The new waiting period is to commence on January 1, 2017. The change, in effect, reduces the total benefit entitlement period under EI, although it doesn't change the maximum benefit period, or weeks of benefits payable.
