Self employed Canadians gain access to EI benefits
Kate Jackman-Atkinson argues that rural Manitobans increasingly work for themselves and need social safety nets. Starting January 2010 the self employed can access EI special benefits by entering an agreement with the Canada Employment Insurance Commission through Service Canada. They must pay premiums for a year before claiming benefits, aligning with salaried workers' protections. This change could encourage entrepreneurship and benefit towns by easing risk for innovators.
