Financial Incentives: An earnings supplement is offered if the new job pays less than the previous job held (3/4 the difference) and the recipient leaves UI within a specified period of time (26 weeks for displaced workers and 12 weeks for repeat UI users). The supplement cannot exceed $250 (Canadian) a week. Pre-UI earnings are capped at $42,380 (Canadian) per year or $815 (Canadian) per week when ESP began in 1995. Supplement payments can be received for up to 24 months. Jobs must be 30 hours per week to be considered full-time.
