Rights and Responsibilities - Canada.ca 1 of 2 https://srv270.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/aw/Static/Index/RR_E_W?s=e088e1ba-8e... Employment Insurance and You: A Shared Responsibility The Employment Insurance (EI) program provides Canadians with temporary financial assistance while they are unemployed, participating in an apprenticeship or a work-sharing program, pregnant, sick/injured, caring for a newborn or newly adopted child, or providing care or support to a critically ill or gravely ill family member. The right to receive benefits involves a shared responsibility between Service Canada and you, our client. Service Canada's responsibilities When you request EI benefits, we aim to: give you prompt and courteous service; establish a claim for unemployment benefits, if you meet the entrance requirements specified by the Employment Insurance Act; process your claim for work-sharing benefits as quickly and objectively as possible; defer the normal waiting period while you are in receipt of work-sharing benefits; let you know about decisions we've made about your claim and explain the process to follow if you disagree with a decision. Your responsibilities When requesting work-sharing benefits, you must: be available for work with your work-sharing employer. (Benefits will not be paid for work missed due to non-availability with that employer, however you do not have to be available for work with other employers, during the work-sharing period); report any hours of work and earnings from any employer other than your employer participating in the work-sharing agreement; notify us of any separation from employment and the reasons for the separation; report any absences from your area of residence and any absences from Canada when those absences are not a requirement of the work-sharing employment. Other important information As per the work-sharing agreement, when calculating the amount of benefit to which you are entitled, any overtime worked during a week is deducted from the hours missed during that week. If you make an honest mistake and give us incorrect information on your claim, it is not too late to provide the proper (or corrected) information. Under our disclosure policy, we can waive any penalty or prosecution if the matter is not already under investigation. However, if you knowingly hold back information or change the facts to make a false or misleading representation, you are committing an act or omission for which we could impose severe penalties. 11/18/2020, 6:54 PM Rights and Responsibilities - Canada.ca 2 of 2 https://srv270.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/aw/Static/Index/RR_E_W?s=e088e1ba-8e...
