EMPLOYMENT INSURANCE (EI)<\/strong> provides temporary financial assistance for unemployed Canadians while they look for work or upgrade their skills. You can collect on your insurance policy after only a few months. However, even if you\u2019ve been paying into it for 20 years you still get the same benefits, for the same period of time (more or less) as somone who\u2019s been paying into it for only a year. You have no choice to opt out of paying the premiums. You paid into it over the years, so why not collect on your policy when you need it?<\/a><\/p>\n

THE ONTARIO LABOUR RELATIONS BOARD<\/strong> is an independent, quasi-judicial tribunal mandated to mediate and adjudicate a variety of employment and labour relations-related matters under a number of Ontario statutes.<\/a><\/p>\n

THE EMPLOYMENT STANDARDS ACT, 2000 (ESA) \u2013 ONTARIO<\/strong> sets out minimum terms of employment. It sets out rights of employees and requirements that apply to employers for most Ontario workplaces. The ESA applies to most employers and employees in Ontario but it does not apply to all<\/em> employers and employees. Some employees and their employers are exempt from (that is, not covered by) all, or some parts of the ESA, and some are subject to special rules. This can be confusing, but you can find out if your job is covered and to what extent.<\/a><\/p>\n
