Employment Insurance Premium Rates In Canada

The EI premium rate has declined each year from $3.07 in 1994 to $2.10 in 2003. The proposed rate of $1.98 for 2004 would be the 10th consecutive reduction in EI premiums since 1994 (see Table 7.1). Thus, over the 10-year period from 1994 to 2004, the EI premium rate will have been reduced by over a third. These reductions in the EI premium rate will result in ongoing annual savings to employers and employees of $9.7 billion in 2004, compared to the 1994 rate.

    • REASON? DECLINING UNEMPLOYMENT RATE THEREFORE LESS PAYMENT OUT OF THE FUND OR WHAT?
      • economy growth, federal government collect more than the program cost.
