The government maxes out at $1600/month so that all Albertans, no matter what your wage is, gets maxed out the same, so it's not a percentage of your wage. We get paid out through EI (employment insurance). It's a pretty amazing system, we are very blessed! If you move, move to Norway - they get 2 years!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399720861396381975.post-37412507117729351962012-08-22T05:30:56.454-06:002012-08-22T05:30:56.454-06:00Thanks, Kristi!Thanks, Kristi!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399720861396381975.post-80184388617524441472012-08-22T05:30:41.906-06:002012-08-22T05:30:41.906-06:00Thanks so much.

Full pay? Your pay? Or a set rate?<br /><br />I got 12 weeks off.... NONE paid. None! My income was just from my vacation time. And if I take more than 12 weeks, I'm not guarnteed my job back. <br /><br />I'm so beyond disgusted with women's healthcare rights in the US right now. Maybe I'll come have my next baby in Canada!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07382510534747063265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399720861396381975.post-49062889154443944542012-08-21T21:24:16.637-06:002012-08-21T21:24:16.637-06:00All the new designs to your blog look great!!

His 18-24 month pants are looking short on him and they never did before!<br /><br />So, for my maternity leave...I'm going off early for harvest as when Jay is in the field I have no childcare. I will be unpaid for 10 weeks, until I have baby. I believe we get 50 weeks of paid leave, 'x' amount is maternity leave and the rest is filled with parental leave. It's awful I don't know the ins and outs of it...but I do know how to apply for it and get paid and that's all that matters. You just have to work 600 hours since your last claim and/or in the last year before you go off and the max out for all Canadians is $1600/month which I should get!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5399720861396381975.post-16396327697241363232012-08-20T08:14:53.661-06:002012-08-20T08:14:53.661-06:00Oh thanks...you're not lazy...at the end of th...Oh thanks...you're not lazy...at the end of the day when I look at what I've accomplished, I see I'm truly not lazy, but sometimes it just feels like it!
