The hours are not insurable: expert
Question: We require some of our employees to be on standby in case we need to call them to work. The employees do not have to wait at the workplace, but they have to carry a cellphone with them so we can reach them if needed. We pay the employees a portion of their regular hourly rate for the standby hours (it is above minimum wage). How do we treat this standby time for EI purposes?
