I was recently terminated without cause. On the ROE (record of employment) I was was given a M code.
I was offered pay in lieu and a severance package (equals 1 month of pay roughly).
My concern is that the M code will not allow me to get EI benefits? I was told that i still will but cannot reach EI to get a representative. i have been calling and cannot through the line to a live human human being to confirm my eligibility.
If i have M code can I still collect EI? i need to sign my release next week and want to confirm.
The M code should not prevent you from collecting EI. Before signing the Release you should ensure that you are being adequately compensated with your severance pay. I would recommend that you go to our severance pay calculator at www.severancepaycalculator.com to get an idea of your potential entitlements.
