Summary:

15 of the required 16 weeks plus vacation pay of $384. According to the Umpire, he does not have the authority to decide whether or not vacation pay constitutes a 16th insured week. This authority rests solely with the Minister of National Revenue. The Umpire could not, without having committed an error of law, conclude that claimant had held insurable employment for the week immediately following her dismissal by reason only of her receipt of a vacation pay allocated to that week under s. 58.
