Employment Insurance (EI) is a program that provides temporary financial assistance to unemployed workers who have lost their job through no fault of their own. EI premiums are deducted from an employee's wages and the amount is matched by their employer. The withholding of EI premiums does not stop in 2018 after the employee has earned $4,500. The amount of EI premiums deducted depends on the employee's earnings and is subject to an annual maximum.
