EI Premium Reduction Program : guide for employers. : SG5-54/2008E-PDF

"The Premium Reduction Program allows employers to pay Employment Insurance premiums at a reduced rate if their employees are covered by a short-term disability plan that meets certain requirements set by Service Canada. Employment Insurance (EI) provides special benefits to persons who are notworking because of illness, injury or quarantine. It also allows for maternity, parental (including adoption) and compassionate care benefits. When employers make similar income protection coverage available to their employees, the latter may not have to collect from EI, or may collect for a shorter time. Because this reduces the demands made on the EI system, the government initiated this program to return the savings to both employers and their employees." --p. 1.
