The Canadian Federal government has confirmed that it is extending the Employment Insurance (EI) Sickness Benefits period from 15 weeks to 26 weeks this year as proposed in the 2022 Budget. The official implementation date and details have not yet been confirmed. Employers with Short Term Disability benefits should look to align their Qualification Period and Benefit Period to the new extended EI period.
For Employers with Long Term Disability coverage, this is an opportunity to lengthen your Elimination Period and potentially reduce premium costs. Be cautious, as this longer 26-week EI period may delay an employee’s rehabilitation process or return to work. To read more about the budget updates for employment insurance in detail, click HERE
