Office vaccine mandates have gotten more and more widespread and controversial amid the COVID-19 pandemic, with Canada’s Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough warning that unvaccinated employees who lose their jobs might not be eligible for Employment Insurance coverage (EI) advantages. However is that this permitted below the rule of legislation?
Employment lawyer Lior Samfiru sheds gentle on the latest feedback from federal officers on entry to employment advantages and issues to look out for in employers’ vaccine mandates.

ANY job requiring non-remote interaction with others (customers or other employees) SHOULD be vaccinated as a requirement. The unvaccinated are a serious problem!
Get vaxxed or leave. I don't really care if the law supports it, I'll vote to change it, but only for Healthcare workers and those working with the vulnerable.
Self employed. No test no Vax required.
Meanwhile in USA, Jan 13th 2021, Supreme Court blocks Biden's mandate.
global news, neither are u elected , appointed or inherited entity to govern Canadian people . right question should be "what is legitimacy of mainstream media".
I see everyone in the comments missed the lawyer's comment about "Government Mandates". WHEN the Federal Government implements a "VACCINE MANDATE" across Canada there is no need for a Legislative Change and EI will be DENIED. It is very important to listen to the language used and stay up to date with the Federal Government's agenda.
I hope you read this one question that I can’t get answered our daughter is immune suppressed my husband works in a workplace that does not enforce a vaccine requirement we are both triple vaccine does he have the right to asked to only work his shift which is in the kitchen only ever with one other staff member busy allowed to ask if that one staff member that he works with is indeed vaccines? It doesn’t really seem fair that he is putting our immunocompromise daughter at risk due to having no choice but to work with a non-VAX person this is a question we plan to ASK however In order to know if they would consider that I justifiable reason to leave his employment they would have to he would have to already have left his job and then apply
Re: UIC Regardless of whether one is entitled to benefits or not, if the snivelling servants involved don't want you to collect, they will break the law, ignore their own rules & procedures and outright lie to deny your claim.
Getting legally fired and not able to get E.I. = violation of human rights.
Yeah, it's happening and it's wrong.
Taking away your right to earn a living = no. Democratic, our freedom is at stake.
Thanks global but why now? After the government has scared over 80% of the people to get vaccinated now you want to shine some truth on the matter?
Canada's going to hell in a handbasket just because our prime minister has a mental illness and nobody is taking him to see a shrink this is crazy I can't even see a doctor anymore 6 months wait it took 6 months for my mail to arrive now the truck drivers need a vaccine they won't be able to bring the toilet paper on time anymore 🤔😢
Well this was refreshing global, maybe a little more of this would be good, show us you still have some unbiased journalism left in you, or you will end up like CNN 🤣
Newsflash: Vaccinated people transmit and get COVID. I know first hand because family and family members of friends currently have COVID and are vaccinated. So these mandates are OBVIOUSLY not about health, and not about COVID. It's their goal INJECTING that vaccine to everyone that's why they're inconveniencing those who decide not to be injected.
Canada didn't have independent and they'll control us and England and business
2021
Great Question:
As a nurse so succinctly put it;
Why do the protected
need to protect themselves
from the unprotected
by forcing the unprotected
to use the protection
that did NOT protect
the protected in
the first place.
is you believe this, pass in on, please
It is the vaccinated who are infecting others not the unvaccinated!
Since the vaccinated are getting Covid, and are more likely to be spreading it with light or no symptoms, what is the rationale behind vaccine mandates? Oh, right….it is nothing but spitefulness and authoritarianism…..I forgot.
I'm surprised someone left the comments open on here 🤣
Nuremberg is next
Nuremberg violators should get what they deserve. They know they’re guilty.
just talking heads no man can order another inless mindless persons consent , to their gov fake god lol
We pay thousands per year and when we need it we are denied. Someone sue the employment insurance, they are useless. I want to stop paying into it.
Why is the media fuelling this political folly? Truckers will rescue our country.
No food, medicines, no health! Right!
I guess that this lawyer's phone will be ringing off the hook. He probably knows the law better than any civil servant lawyer in the country.
Globals news must not have gotten enough money from the goverment lol
Strip away all legal rights for the vaccinated for they are the ones spreading the variants.
Vaccinated and unvaccinated equally spread and/or catch the virus, how is this allowed. Read that again to realise how division is unnecessary so why treat unvaccinated differently???
Because what they have in the vaccine they badly want every human to have inside them. Wrong is wrong even when in the majority and right is still right even when in the minority.
A virus has to travel to spread. Stop people from traveling. Close airports around the world, dock the boats, close train stations, close bus stations, close subways and car travel. The transportation of human hosts is the only reason we have and continue to have a pandemic. International travel and domestic travel needs to stop, 4 weeks can end this pandemic. Create safe zones that nobody can enter or leave unless to and from another safe zone. Allow hot zones of infected to be isolated and treated and vaccinated until the hot zone can become a safe zone. A zone can be a town or municipality, communities that are free of the virus. This can be done without lockdowns and safe zones can go back to pre pandemic life . If the world can coordinate this plan it can end the pandemic.
Cp rail said get vaccinated or you cant work. They forced us.
Why is section 1 of the charter not being challenged?
Racist white Neanderthals who kick kittens don't recycle and hate women as they scratch their lumpy ugly head, say we will be fine without no more taxes. We Neanderthals are free to say this to the dictator wearing salmon-colored shirt while also in blackface after the Indigenous "events". Let's go Brandon
word on the street, there is a QR code out there that disables a scanner indefinitely. also a "whitelist" of leaders, health officials, CEO's that have had their status falsified. but thats just the word on the street
If the shelves are empty due to vaccine mandates for truck drivers, the shelves will be empty for both the vaccinated and unvaccinated. Good to have someone to blame when you are hungry eh?
They should have no rights. They are taking up ICU beds that should be used for vaccinated people. They are allowing the virus to mutate. If we had a PM with balls, it would have become law to have everyone vaccinated.
There are canadian rights and that's it. Not vax rights, gay rights, womens rights, lgbtq rights, just canadian rights. We are all born free with inalienable rights. They are not granted to us by the state or any one person on this earth. They are given to us by God at birth.
Dear : Government,
Please stop and open everything! You’ve done all you can by making the vaccines available to everyone who wants them. At this point in time it is evident that COVID is an endemic disease that will be with us for the foreseeable future. Thus, there’s nothing more you or the health officials can do. Please step aside and let those of us willing to tolerate the risk of living with COVID continue our lives!!!! Citizens who are still concerned are free to stay home. After all, exceptions shouldn’t make the rules for broader society!
the lockdown were never legal to begin with, the trials will happen
Denied EI because of vaccination status? Then it's time to never pay taxes again. The people can deny the government things, too.
The employer has no right to ask such medical information in the first place , not during employment , and not pre employment. the information is protected under privacy law. this news story is what is called a "limited hangout" it admits one thing to obfuscate another.
they paid into they should get e.i and they should have never been fired
Global news needs to start looking in vaccine injury to Canadians. They need to start looking at the whole plan of how our government is dealing with this pandemic. To date none of the plans that have been put in place have worked. Global news need to step up like showing what’s happening around the world you can see all the protests happening on social media yet not a word on any of the local news media shame on you all.
It is already clear that the vaccines no matter if they were supposed to be are not really vaccines that is to say they don't prevent transmission. Therefore any punitive action taken against the unvaccinated is outrageous. It is totally crazy that in the wake of ocron which should mark the end of the pandemic by any rational standard and what has most clearly been demonstrated about the lack of affect on transmissability that many wester countires (canada being on e o the absolute worst) are double down on vaccine passport and punitve measures against the unvaccinated. I am Canadian and I am very glad I don't live iin canada. Trudeau has the audacity to call these things incentives when they are by definition coercion. An Incentive is not punitive. I am ashamed these days to be Canadian. In Paris they are nearly tore the city down in toronto the people and not just the state are the problem.
Q: What are the legal rights of obese Taco Bell junkies? Gays who catch AIDS? Anti-Police/ soft on crime advocates who get raped? Cigarette smokers who get lung cancer? Alcohol drinkers who get liver disease? Avid sun bathers who get skin cancer? To sum it up…. how bout any one of you hypocrites reading this right now who either currently have a health ailment or will one day have some health ailment as a result of your personal lifestyle choices? Just asking. At which time, Should you be allowed to selfishly use up valuable health care and societal resources to help tend to your issue?
CANADA IS PURE EVIL
Holding people down for the vaccine is a tyranny like Communist doing today. Covid19 is just an excuse to taking away the freedom of people, it is just the beginning. If people don't say no, they will start doing more and more radical things like that today.
Kiss u job good bye in the next election
Do they have any rights??
