Decision 47415 Full Text of Decision 47415

The claimant had two jobs. The first ended on 6-06-97, and the claimant received $113,430 in severance pay (s.p.) and $10,067 in vacation pay (v.p.). The second job ended on 25-11-97, and the claimant received $51,500 in s.p. and $930 in v.p. According to the Umpire, all earnings paid to a claimant must be fully and completely allocated. The amounts paid in connection with the first job were paid during the qualifying period and must therefore be considered in their entirety until exhausted.

Severance pay allocated over a 15-month period during which claimant worked 20 weeks for another employer. Neither the Act nor the Regulations impose a maximum period of time over which earnings may be allocated. Parliament has not seen fit to so legislate.
