Unemployment Question

Jusy wondering if anyone knows how they base what your cheque will be every two weeks for unemployemt. I thought it was your best 10 weeks....but the tele rep from EI said it's your average for the last 52 weeks.

  1. We look at the total earnings you have been paid in the last 26 weeks ending with your last day of work.
  2. We take into consideration the number of weeks in which you have worked in the last 26 weeks.
  3. We determine the unemployment rate in your region and the minimum divisor that applies at that unemployment rate.
  4. We determine your average weekly insured earnings by dividing your total earnings in the last 26 weeks by the greater of:

    a) the number of weeks you have worked in the last 26 weeks; or
    b) the minimum divisor number.
    Important: The divisor cannot be less than 14 or greater than 26.
  5. We then multiply the result by 55% to obtain your weekly benefit. (See examples A, B and C).
