Summary:
Claimant submits that the employer calculated the work weeks according to the employer's guide and maintains that if this is the proper method for assessing the employer, it should be appropriate for calculating the number of insurable weeks. Unfortunately, the purpose of the employer's guide is to facilitate the calculation of payroll deductions rather than to determine benefit entitlement. Under section 36(6) of the Regulations, the calendar week is to be used to determine entitlement.
