Not to nit pick, but as a employer, I pay 1.4X the amount the employee does, so for each employee who earns over ~45k a year ~2,000 is remitted to EI.
And the amount of people looking to scam EI annoys the piss outta me. I've gone as far to bring on people who wanna be paid in cash and on payday show up with their cash but still tell em I need their SS number for reporting to the government...
As far as I am concerned what they should do, is if you are caught filing a false EI claim, you are permanently barred from ever collecting EI again in your life, but you still are required to pay into it. Not as harsh as prison time but still quite the disincentive
