Revising Employment Insurance History

When you verify the integrity of your employment insurance history, you might discover errors. You review each error to verify whether you must make a change as some errors might reflect valid conditions. Use the EI History Revisions program (P06176) to locate any employee's employment insurance history and, if necessary, to make revisions.

Records on a Record of Employment (ROE) do not appear on the EI History Revisions screen because the system locks these records and you cannot revise them. To review locked records on an ROE, use the EI History Inquiry program (P060991).

This program revises information in the Unemployment Insurance History table (F06176).

Field

Explanation

Insurable Gross Pay

The actual gross pay amount for an employee. This amount is different from the distributed gross pay amount that is used for labour distribution.

Screen-specific information

The employee's insurable gross pay for the listed pay period. This amount is subject to EI (employment insurance) before EI limits are applied.

Hours Worked

The number of hours associated with each transaction.

Screen-specific information

The hours excluded from employment insurance (EI) with Tax Type CI are not included in this field. The associated pay is included in the Insurable Gross Pay. The excluded hours are included in the actual hours worked on the employee's timecard.

Insured Earnings

The amount that is subject to taxation or withholdings.

Screen-specific information

For Canadian employment insurance (EI), this amount equals the gross pay to which EI applies. When the sum of the insured earnings exceeds the yearly maximum, the next entry for that year is blank.

When you enter revisions manually, the system determines whether the amount that you enter plus the sum of the insured earnings for the year exceeds the yearly limit.

Insured Premiums

The employment insurance premium withheld from the employee's pay for the current pay period.

Screen-specific information

If the premium percentage is specified in the processing options, the system calculates the premium amount to withhold.

To enter an amount manually, leave the processing option blank.
