Add Comment Question: In Nov of 2014 I started a new job. The owner (my boss) swears, yells, slams his fist on the desk, calls people f'n idiots, told me to defacate on someones desk. I go to work shaking and sick to my stomach. If I quit would I be able to obtain Employment insuranceÉ Answer: You may not qualify for EI simply because you do t have enough hours. But you could get severance. What you are describing is a constructive dismissal - a situation created by the employer that makes it impossible to continue working. Do not quit without first calling us at the number below. Comment: I had 4 weeks of EI for October 2014, I was approved for EI benefits until Sept 2015. Would that change the qualification? When can I call and speak with someone? Your Comment * Your Email * Your Name * Your City Note, your name, city and email is not displayed on the website.
