"Between Projects"

I fear you might be right. The "Big Guy" said that the 2nd wave might not even get gift certificates or a nice watch (which I am trying to sell). The "Big Guy" said that there is not even any negotiations on a new project (nobody has any money) so the last project might be the last project for a long long time.

I'd say its good for about fucking $1400 a month. That's $1400 a month that doesn't come out of your savings until you find another job. I recognize that someone with a family won't be able to make ends meet on that. So if there are no savings to supplement EI, then things will definitely be tough. Unfortunately, it seems that is the way people want it. And maybe they are right. Maybe a $2000/month or $2500/month max means some people can get pretty comfortable. What kind of cap would you like to see on it?

But "independent contractors" don't even qualify for UI.

Yes, I know Rockslinger. Sorry that you have been terminated. No EI, no severance. I wish you luck in this transitional period. Its what corporations call externalizing costs. Its no longer their problem, its your problem. Our social safety net continues to be whittled away. They are working on education and health care, adding user fees, privatizing services. The current government reduces taxes and most everyone applauds the tax cuts. The result is that we can no longer afford public services. I am no fan of the GST because it is a regressive tax. But at least it provided a huge revenue source for important government services. So the Conservatives cut it. Now they are projecting a $30B deficit. Get ready for the next round of service cuts to reduce the deficit.

The "Big Guy" said that the worst is yet to come. Some of the guys have packed up and left for Alberta but I am getting reports of a "3 feet" rule there. (The "3 feet" rule should be ruled unconstitutional.) Also, oil is banging $35 a barrel so a lot of projects in Alberta are being "deferred".

What is this so-called '3 feet rule'? Please explain...

According to Miss Ashley Tyler (expert dancer), the "3 feet" rule in Alberta SC's is a "no fly" zone for both the dancer and the customer. I am a free man, especially now that I am "between projects", and I refuse to live in any province where there is a "3 feet" no fly zone.

I don't know. I suspect it depends on how long you have paid into the fund. Maybe dependent on what region you are in to. I am sure the info is available on line if you care to do a search. Let us know what you find.

You and Dick Meat are obviously not an SC addict like me. Good for you, you have a life. Thank goodness my fav dancer is happy to dance for me at 1/2 price and hang out gratis even though I am currently "between projects" (please don't say "unemployed" like my bank manager did). Not all dancers are greedy B's.

Yeah, apparently stripclubs suck the big one in AB... Wouldn't know cause I've never been to one.

You know what they say; There's tons of women in Alberta... just not very many of them...

OMFG, my first out-loud bellylaugh of the day. Nicely done! :D

Having lived in the United State of Alberta for a few long, cold winters, I can tell you that there's more truth to this than one might believe.

How long can I receive EI?

You can receive EI from 14 weeks up to a maximum of 45 weeks, depending on the unemployment rate in your region at the time of filing your claim and the amount of insurable hours you have accumulated in the last 52 weeks or since your last claim, whichever is shorter.

New: The Extended pilot project on increased weeks of EI benefits started on June 11, 2006. See if that pilot project applies to you...

Whether or not someone is an employee is a "question of fact" not an issue of agreement. Often a company will insist that you are "on contract" but that determination is not really theirs to make.

If they supply the equipment you use, direct your actions and supervise you and, if, you don't have a chance of profit or loss then you are likely an employee.

I have seen many people go to EI successfully on this issue. Remember, the employer will have to catch up on the EI payments if EI rules in your favour which means they probably won't use you in the future.

I hope when you are "between projects" people will be more sympathetic. Yes, it can happen to you.

It has happened, several years ago. I haven't worked for anyone else since.
