Interruption of Earnings (end of contract)
This final pay of each semester represents what Service Canada refers to as an ‘interruption of earnings.’ If you apply for EI, the ‘day for which you were last paid’ and your ‘last day worked’ should be listed on your EI application. If you apply for – and receive – EI, you will need to report the first day of work to end your EI payments.
At the end of each semester, the employer will upload your ROE automatically to Service Canada, generally with 5 business days following the last pay.
