Doctors lobby for higher taxes on wealthy Canadians

All what money? Govt jobs pay **** all.

Uuuuuuuuuuum, Petros. Overall payroll verses overall productivity, I disagree. In the old days the pay cheque was pretty well the main benefit, now the vacation allotment is very generous and then there is the sh*t like stress leave, maternity leave, and all kinds of sick leave. The system is getting worked to the hilt. I've got nothing against women getting pregnant, particularly the ones who decide to make raising a family their career, but in a lot of cases they work for a couple of years and then qualify for a sh*t load of maternity perks. Hey, YA CAN'T SUCK AND BLOW AT THE SAME TIME! :lol:

Anyone in any job gets those bennys.

"Make hay while the sun shines."

The sun shines 16 hours during hay season but Govt only works from 8:00AM to 4:30PM

Minus a few coffee breaks, piss breaks and an hour for lunch! :lol:

 

[petros]

1/2 hr lunch on your time. If it was paid they'd close at 4:00PM

Not at the amounts that federal gov't employees get.

And self employed people don't get maternity leave, or paid vacations.

 

[petros]

Self Employed no bennys? Who is going to tell you that you can't take time off?

Bill collectors, mostly....

Don't fall behind.

But are you going to be able to return to work when you want to? :lol:

Unless you already have a great cushion and no competition, "don't fall behind" is much easier said than done

Perhaps you should be taking a smaller draw if your salary puts your company in jeopardy.

Do you know of any GPs who bill fee-for-service who can collect EI benefits?

Why not? If your "self employed" pogey runs out you're in the same boat as anyone else.

Methinks you just drew a big one....

Youthunks?

 

[Kakato]

Self employed can get benefits like EI but you have to pay for them.Givin the way that service Canada is running right now with their work to rule plot It's not worth it as most claims are taking up to 3 months to process.Service Canada workers are actually telling EI applicants to go on welfare untill they catch up.

That's not new. The Province gets what they pay out back from from your EI.

The 3 months it takes to get any money is new,I dealt with them a while back and have a few other buddies going through the same thing.They had lots of workers cut so this is kind of their way of passing their pain on to the public.I have never before been told to go ask welfare for a loan while EI kicks in.
Anyone dealing with service Canada right now knows exactly what I mean,just try logging into their site and good luck.Getting ahold of an agent can take a month.

 

[petros]

Must be too busy dealing with ON claims.

 

[Kakato]

Must be too busy dealing with ON claims.

No,they laid off a bunch of them,thats why the ****ty service and slowboating from them.When you finally get ahold of an agent they will spend 20 minutes telling you how swamped they are.
