Question

I was wondering if you can help me with my payroll question?

1. A(n)____________is not considered an “interruption of earnings”

a) Scheduled vacation of 14 consecutive calendar days

b) Reduction of salary below 60% of regular weekly insurable earnings

c) Period of seven consecutive calendar days without work or insurable earnings

d) Employee quitting their job with the company

e) Termination of employment contact

Answer 1

Answer - A - SCHEDULED VACATION OF 14 CONSECUTIVE DAYS CALENDAR DAYS.

Interruption of earnings is considered to be occurred when there is a reduction of salary below 60% of regular weekly insurable earnings or when an employee has had a period of seven consecutive calendar days without work or insurable earnings. It is even said to occur when employees quit their jobs or are laid off or when their employment is terminated. But in case of scheduled vacation of 14 consecutive calendar days, It is not considered as an interruption of earnings.
