Employment Insurance
Most Sessional Lecturers or Course Instructors who have taught at least 1.5 courses - or 3 half courses - in the 52 weeks before application are eligible for EI. Some Teaching Assistants, Writing Instructors, and other hourly-paid employees who have a lot of insurable hours, or who have taught a course or two, may also qualify. Request your Record of Employment (ROE) from the UofT Human Resources office at 215 Huron - if your teaching ends this term, you can request your ROE as of April 24.
There have been some changes in EI eligibility in the GTA due to rising unemployment rates. For help in applying for EI, contact: comms@cupe3902.org or staffrep@cupe3902.org.
