Traduction de «actual labour hours » (Anglais → Français) :

This bill aims in particular to: reduce the qualifying period to a minimum of 360 hours regardless of the regional unemployment rate—this will eliminate the inequities between regions on the basis of their unemployment rates; increase the benefit period from 45 to 50 weeks—in this way, we will be able to limit the effects of the gap or black hole, which currently leaves the unemployed suffering for sometimes as long as 10 weeks; increase the rate of weekly benefits to 60% of insurable earnings rather than 55% as is currently the case—unstable jobs are generally the least well paid and these changes would provide claimants with a bare m ...[+++]inimum; eliminate the waiting period between the time when people lose their jobs and apply for benefits and the time when they receive their first cheques—workers should not be penalized for losing their jobs and their financial obligations continue, even if the money is late arriving; eliminate the distinction between a new entrant and a re-entrant to the labour force—this practice is totally discriminatory, especially against young people and women whose work situation is typically less stable; eliminate the presumption that persons related to each other do not deal with each other at arm’s length—it is not up to workers to prove their good faith when they lose their jobs, but it is up to the system to investigate if there is any doubt; increase the maximum yearly insurable earnings from $39,000 to $41,500 and introduce an indexing formula—the current contribution formula is actually a regressive tax that affects low-income earners the most. It is worth noting that the maximum was once $43,000; calculate benefits based on the 12 best weeks so as not to penalize seasonal workers who sometimes work small weeks; and finally, extend program coverage to the growing number of self-employed workers in the labour market who have no coverage should they become unemployed.

Here, too, the Commissioner has promised, and the Council has already decided in principle, to help us to put an end to the unfair undercutting of tariffs and prices in the Member States of the European Union – a particularly common practice by the Willi Betz company – in order to arrive at a fairer system in this particular field with regard to labour law and working hours, another area where the railways are disadvantaged compared to the legal and especially the actual circumstances on the roads.

However, labour input in terms of hours worked is not distorted by this convention, as no hours are actually worked.

If I heard correctly earlier today, there is productivity based on labour and hours, yet I know the big three automakers are looking constantly at, I guess, inefficiency, but something they have in the United States, which is hours of work week, which is longer than the hours our workers actually work.

Furthermore, and it depends how one would deal with it, if these payments were treated as insurable earnings for employment insurance purposes, this kind of arrangement would actually improve the position we've read about in the media—how women have not fared well from changes to the Employment Insurance Act, largely because, going in and out of the paid labour force, they lose labour market participation hours.
