What are the implications of having received Employment Insurance benefits during the notice period?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Linton v. The Ethical Bean Coffee Company Ltd., 2012 BCPC 212 (CanLII):
JEFFREY LINTON: Page 23 of your chambers brief, number 80 [as read in]: While the claimant received EI during the notice period, the benefits are not deductible from damages. Instead, there is a process whereby EI being advised of a reasonable notice award will make its own adjustments. And that is based on Jack Cewe v. Jorgenson. That, too, was provided to me by my lawyer.
