CONTRACT WORKER

Our policy will protect contract workers but you must be on a fixed term contract of employment at the start date of the policy in order to be eligible to apply. In order to claim for unemployment we will only consider a claim if it complies with the following:

• At the start date of the policy you must have been working for the same employer for at least 6 months and had your contract renewed at least once.
• We will then consider a claim only if your current contract is terminated prior to its expiry date, but any monthly benefit will only be paid until that contract would have expired
• However, we will consider any claim as if you had been in permanent employment if at the start date of the policy:

1) You have been working for the same employer for at least two years and

2) Have an annual contract, which has been renewed at least once

3) It has at least six months remaining
