=== 1. Weeks of Unemployment ===


“Week of unemployment” is defined in s 11(1) of the ''EI Act''. This definition is important for the purposes of claiming benefits. The following subsections of s 11 describe situations which do not amount to an interruption of earnings as defined in s 14.
“Week of unemployment” is defined in s 11(1) of the ''EI Act'': “A week of unemployment for a claimant is a week in which the claimant does not work a full working week”.  However, the following subsections of s 11 describe situations which do not amount to an interruption of earnings as defined in s 14.
 
*Subsection (2): a week during which a claimant’s contract of service continues and in respect of which he or she receives, or will receive,  usual remuneration for a full working week, does not constitute a week of unemployment, even if the claimant performs no work during that time.
 
*Subsection (3): where an employee agrees with the employer to take a period of leave from employment, but continues to be an employee during  that period, and receives remuneration that was set aside during a period of work (i.e. vacation pay), any week or part of a week during such a period of leave is not a week of unemployment, regardless of when the remuneration was paid.
 
*Subsection (4): where an insured person regularly works a greater number of hours, days, or shifts than are normally worked by persons in  full time employment, and pursuant to an agreement to which the employer is therefore entitled to a period of leave, the weeks falling in the  period of leave are not considered to be weeks of unemployment.
