Summary:
During the claimant’s maternity leave she assisted her husband with the operation of a family business. While she declared no earnings a 50% benefit accrued to her as a shareholder in her husband’s contract trucking business. While she claims she was not performing work, the law is clear she has benefits and interest in the company which constitute earnings within the provisions of the Act and the Regulations. She acknowledged she had an interest in the corporation, which, for the purpose of the Act, is deemed to be earnings and subject to allocation. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed
