As news that CERB coming to an end, many Canadians were worried there would be no aid financially from the government. Now however a change in structure to the Employment Insurance program has raised more questions.

Toronto employment lawyer Jon Pinkus at Samfiru Tumarkin LLP joins the Jill Bennett show to discuss the transition from CERB to EI.

Points of Discussion: What do people need to know about the shift from CERB to EI? What does this shift offer for those people who would not have qualified for regular EI i.e. workers who are part of the gig economy?

What was the biggest concern with CERB ending? While on EI, would the previous same rules apply, such as proving you are looking for a job? Will the rules and expectations differ for those that are temporarily laid off?
