So what needs to change in regards to EI? 45 days is ludicrous! At $15/Hour a worker would have paid in less than $100 in that time.
The 2 week waiting period means you get no money for 4 weeks and are already seriously behind on bills and groceries. That needs to change IMO.
I think CRA needs to look at making a National Payroll system available on the Internet. As an employer I could do payroll on my computer and print my cheques and then upload to CRA-same as we do T4s now. This would eliminate having to do ROE's, would eliminate the cards for claimants, would eliminate the inquiries needed to check for fraudsters (and all that manpower). T4 info would be available on the "My Account" site at CRA.
