Hi everyone.

I have a small construction business -Ontario with 10 employees. 3 of us in the office. One of the people in the office has to take a few months off for a surgery. She is looking for a top up on her wage. Why should or shouldn’t I top it up? We’ve never topped up EI before and I don’t plan on it now. I have offered to loan her money if she is in that bad of a situation. I think if people are concerned about this they should buy themselves disability insurance. Why am I working hard to pay for people to be off. Thoughts?
