summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
earnings wages or salary
Summary:

The claimant had argued before the Umpire that the allocation of work earnings was inappropriate since the Commission had amended its earlier decision of "no interruption of earnings" due to the change in ownership of the hotel where he worked (CUB 65971). The FCA simply said : "Having heard the submissions of Mr. Maki, we are unable to detect any error in the Judgment under review."

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
earnings wages or salary allocation
Summary:

Claimant worked as an accountant for her husband and was paid annually. While on maternity leave, she continued to provide accounting services but stated that she only worked 2½ hours per week and that no person was hired to take over her duties. The BOR and the Umpire determined that she was employed under an oral contract of services for her husband and that the earnings had to be allocated to the period in which the services were performed, even during the maternity leave. The Court held that it was essentially a question of credibility and dismissed the claimant's application.

Decision 74249C Full Text of Decision 74249C

summary
Issue: Sub-Issue 1: Sub-Issue 2: Sub-Issue 3:
earnings wages or salary without services *
Summary:

The claimant is appealing an allocation of earnings made. During the benefit period the claimant indicated “no” to the question “did you work or receive any earnings during the period in this report. This includes work for which you will be paid later, unpaid work or self employment”. The claimant had received however from his employer an advance on future wages, but understood that it would constitute earnings only when this advance was earned as wages and not when the advance was paid. To contest the allocation he claims that this advance on future wages became earnings retroactively and that retroactive earnings are not to be allocated. Pursuant to subsection 35(1) of the Regulations, “income” means any pecuniary or non-pecuniary income that is or will be received by an employer. The appeal by the claimant is dismissed.
