Summary:
The Commission determined that the claimant did not report his earnings while he was receiving EI benefits. The claimant explained that he works as a ski instructor and that his employer gives him $20 a day to cover his travel expenses. He had to be on site even if he was not giving a lesson. An officer told him not to report those earnings. The Commission found that these amounts, which were given to the claimant as pay, constituted earnings and allocated them. In the file, the Commission interpreted this allowance as standby pay, therefore, as earnings to be reported. The amount of $100 was also entered on the claimant's Record of Employment. The Commission's appeal is allowed by the Umpire.
