Hello.
I have a slight dilemma on my hands. I have been employed at a company I really enjoy for nearly 2 years. Unfortunately, work was slow from mid December to late January last year. This year, work has been slower than at any point in years in my industry. I have only worked roughly 20 days in 4 months. My last job was a 9 day stint outside my city in mid February. My last day working was Feb. 23.
I am technically still employed, but my manager said that work may not pick up unitl late April. Meanwhile, I have been living off my credit card for the past month. Considering I havent' worked in 6 weeks, and ahve barely worked at all since early December, would I be eligable for EI benefits, or would I have to ask my employer for a temporary layoff?
I can't seem to find this answer, so I went and applied at any rate today. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
