Summary:
Employed with Motor Ford Co. The $500 special payment received by the claimant was governed by the vacation pay provisions of the collective agreement and was directly linked to his vacation pay entitlement. The monies in question were simply an enhancement of claimant's regular vacation pay.
Although vacation pay may be described as a bonus, indemnity, wage adjustment or gratuity, if the monies received are in the nature of vacation pay, either under the terms of a verbal or collective agreement, they will be treated as such for UI benefit purposes.
