Some people are getting put on work sharing where I work. Sounds like it some kind of "part time EI" where you get paid normal pay 3 days a week and EI rates the other 2, for instance.
Had a guy I work with ask me a few questions I didn't know the answer to.
- is there a downside to this compared to just going on normal part-time?
- what happens if you "make too much"?
- what happens if you refuse?
I think that middle question is that you'd be elegible for max EI, which might be less meaningful if you were a high income earner, but the EI amounts themselves shouldn't be means-tested, I think.
Anyway, always love hearing everyones thoughts.
