I* Employment and Immigration Canada Lloyd Axworthy, Minister Emploi et Immigration Canada Lloyd Axworthy, Ministre Major Unemployment Insurance and employment program changes to help Canadian workers The Government of Canada has made- major changes to Unemployment Insurance (U I ) and 'employment programs. Improved Fishing Benefits Inland fishermen can now get U I benefits. In addition, those paid to all seasonal fishermen have been improved. improved. Seasonal fishing benefits can now be paid between May 1 and November 15 ;us well as between November 1 and May 15. If you're a seasonal fisherman with at least 15 weeks of fishing, your benefits will now be calculated on your best 10 weeks of fishing. You can add your earnings from a cured catch to your earnings from a fresh catch. You can now also build a boat foi- commercial use without losing your right to benefits. These changes can increase benefits for many fishermen. ' The number of weeks a fisherman must work to qualify for LI I benefits remains the same, but at least 6 of those weeks must now be in fishing. New Adoption Benefits Beginning January 1, 1981, UI benefits will he available to an adoptive adoptive parent for up to 15 weeks. If it is a legal adoption, and you are an adoptive parent who can demonstrate that you are needed at home, you may qualify. for benefits. Improved Maternity Benefits for Working Women As of January' I, 198:1, the U I rules for pregnant women will become simpler and more equitable. If you are pregnant, you still need to work 20 weeks to quality for U I maternity benefits. But now you no longer have to work at least 10 weeks around the time of conception. And you're not prevented from getting regular LI I benefits in the weeks around the birth. The elimination of these rules make benefits easier to get for about 100,000 women every year. Extension of the Variable Entrance Requirement The 10 to 14 week variable entrance requirement has been retained for another two years. If you live in a region with high unemployment, you still need as little as 10 weeks of insurable employment to qualify for regular U I benefits. In low unemployment regions, the period remains up to 14 weeks. More Protection with Work Sharing The Government of Canada's highly successful work sharing program has been extended to May 1984 and given more funding. Work sharing is an agreement between employees and employers, under which available work is divided among employees to avoid layoffs. Since the program started, about 13,500 work sharing agreements were signed, involving over 260,000 workers, to prevent up to 100,000 layoffs. If you are an employee involved in work sharing, you receive your regular wages for days worked, and U I benefits for days not worked. New Work Sharing for Training and Job Placement Pilot projects will be set up to allow work sharing for up to 50 weeks when employees could be laid oil" permanently. As an employee on work sharing in this situation, you have the opportunity to benefit from placement services and improve your job pros- Canada peets, without affecting your eligibility eligibility for regular U I benefits. Program improvements will also allow you to take advantage of training opportunities on days when you are not working. While on work sharing, you could take part-time courses at your workplace or in a training institution. And these new features help employers avoid layoffs while adjusting to structural and technological change. Improved Training Allowances for Women More money for Canada's National Training Program during 1983-84 means more unemployed workers, especially women, can learn the skills of the future. If you aren't eligible for U I benefits while you train, you can get training allowances to help cover living and training expenses. Starting September 1, 1983, they are going up and dependent care allowances will increase by much as 100 percent or more. The weekly rate is up from S20 to $50 for one child, $35 to $80 for two and $65 to $ 130 for five children. Improved Training in New Skills for Women More women will he trained for careers in the new technologies than ever before. 'Hie seats reserved for them on training courses for non- traditional jobs will increase substantially. substantially. A new feature of the Skills Growth Fund means women's groups can apply for up to $50,()()() to develop proposals to set up training courses for women, For more information on these changes to Unemployment Insurance Insurance and employment programs, contact your nearest Canada Employment Centre.
