I'd rather the increase the premiums for seasonal employees who know their jobs are ending when the snow flies and make yearly claims. If no claim is made for a calendar year, premiums should reflect that as well.
If someone is getting $485/week Even at 14 weeks that's close to 7k. When the maximum amount of premiums paid by any canadian is only $839.97 for 2012, that's equivalent to collecting 8 full time employee contributions to the EI pool who may have never had to claim EI.
Hopefully that makes sense.
