Recording a Period with No Insurable Earnings

If an employee does not have any EI insurable earnings for a particular pay period (for example, the employee takes an unpaid leave of absence), you should still create and process a timecard with zero earnings and hours to record this pay period:

Use the Timecards window to enter hours and earnings as zero, and enter a Pay Period End Date, to record the period in which the zero earnings and hours occurred.
Then include the employee’s timecard when you process and post your payroll.

This will enable the system to report this period in Section 15C of the employee’s Record of Employment (ROE) if you print it.
