Does it count if you're collecting EI while on maternity leave only but will be returning to FT work in a year?

Hi Kyles_Mama

I am exploring regular EI benefits in my dissertation. As well, I am exploring how precarious/ contract or part-time work as a result of women's traditional role in the family, impacts their ability to access regular EI benefits. Maternity EI benefits is an interesting topic - hopefully a later study.

Thanks for your inquiry, Leslie

Just in case anyone was interested but was concerned about the time length. I have conducted a few by now and they take on average 30 minutes to just over an hour. Contact me if you have any further questions
