Both rates are going up this year. Both were frozen last year. For EI, employees are going to see an increase of five cents per hundred dollars in premiums. For employers, who pay 1.4 times that of employees, that means seven cents per hundred dollars in payroll.
In dollar terms, these aren't giant increases, but we have hikes as far as the eye can see, given increased EI use over the course of the pandemic. Much of that is a result of some of the pandemic-related costs not being borne by general government revenues but being put on the EI file.
