13 EI Finances Premium Rate History Premium Rate History 13
14 EI Finances- Premium Reduction Program (PRP) Employers who provide wage-loss replacement coverage to their employees through a short-term disability plan may be eligible to receive a reduction in their EI premiums through the PRP The existence of such coverage reduces the demands on the EI program, and the corresponding premium reduction reflects the savings generated to the EI Operating Account. In 2011, $879 million in premiums are being returned to employers through the PRP Premium reductions under the PRP range from 0.28% to 0.43% 14
15 EI Finances-Hiring Credit for Small Business Announced in Budget 2011, the Hiring Credit for Small Business is a one-time credit of up to $1,000 based on the increase in an employer's EI premiums paid for 2011 over those paid for 2010 A small business whose total employer's EI premiums paid for 2010 was $10,000 or less and whose total premiums increased in 2011 will be eligible for a credit New credit available to approximately 525,000 employers, reducing their 2011 payroll costs by about $165 million The Canada Revenue Agency will automatically calculate the credit when an eligible employer's 2011 T4 information return is filed, before January 1,
16 EI Finances--Recent Premium Rate Initiatives The Economic Action Plan freeze of premium rates for 2009 and 2010 at $1.73, the lowest level since 1982, provided relief of $9.2 billion to employers and workers over what would have been the case with break-even premiums In the Fall of 2010, the Government acted to limit premium rate changes to 5 cents in 2011 and 10 cents in subsequent years, saving premium payers $1.2 billion in 2011 compared to what the rate would have been The CEIFB is to set the premium rate for the coming year to ensure that at the end of that year: EI revenues and expenditures from January 1, 2009, onwards, balance; and, The $2B reserve is maintained at its target level 16
17 EI Finances--Projected Premium Rates EI Premium Rate & Cumulative Balance Premium Rate (per $100 earned) Cumulative Balance ($ Billions) Calendar Year Cumulative Balance (Bars) Premium Rate Break-even Rate 17
18 EI Financing Rate-setting Consultations The Government committed to undertake consultations with individuals and stakeholders on how the EI rate setting mechanism can be further improved to ensure more stable, predictable rates, while also maintaining several key principles: Ensure the program breaks-even over-time; Avoid large cumulative surpluses or deficits; and Maintain transparency in the rate setting process Interested parties can provide submissions to the Parliamentary Secretaries of the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada until November 30, 2011 at the following address: 18
