The company switched everyone back to active status over the holiday period to pay holiday pay. Those who are back on layoff January 6th, 2025 (B-shift) and on an EI denial letter, will have to reapply for EI benefits with a last day worked of January 3, 2025. Those on active EI claims can just follow their normal reporting schedule.
Reporting for the week of Dec 29th, 2024 to January 4th, 2025: Please be aware that this week is slightly different than last week. There are 3 days holiday pay and 2 SWW days that you can report as 40 hours of earnings. How to calculate for EI purposes:
PA: $42.42 x 24 = $1018.08, ($42.42 x 16) x .80(sww) = $542.98 – total pay – $1561.06
PSG: $42.72 x 24 = $1025.28, ($42.72 x 16) x .80(sww) = $546.82 – total pay – $1572.10
TL: $43.42 x 24 = $1042.08, ($43.42 x 16) x .80(sww) = $555.78 – total pay – $1597.86
From us in the Benefits Office, we hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas break and a Happy New Years!
