Help Modernize EI Benefits for Gig Workers (Survey Extended to November 19)
gov canadaThe Government of Canada has extended its request for input on EI (Employment Insurance) benefits to November 19. Equity originally shared their survey back in September.

The Government understands how the pandemic has highlighted the gaps in EI that face gig workers and is looking for our sector's input. If you are self-employed, or a gig worker, please consider completing the survey if you haven't done so already.

You might be part of the 15% of the workforce who are self-employed or combine employment work with self-employment work. If so, the government wants to hear your thoughts on reforming the EI system to offer more support to workers like you.

The survey link and further information can be found here.
