About this service
Employment Insurance (EI) provides temporary financial assistance in the form of benefits for some workers. There are different types of benefits:
- Regular benefits are usually for workers who have lost their job. However, workers qualify when they have an "interruption of earnings, so they may also qualify for benefits during lay-offs.
- Maternity/parental benefits are paid to individuals who are pregnant, have recently given birth, are adopting a child or are caring for a new-born.
- Compassionate Care benefits are paid to persons who have to be away from work temporarily to provide care or support to a family member who is gravely ill with a significant risk of death.
- Sickness benefits are for workers who are unable to work due to injury or sickness.
The law related to this program is called the Employment Insurance Act (2010). The EI system is administered by the federal government through Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC).
