    How could the be fired now if their contract expired in 2020?

    Why were employers telling their former employees to not apply for EI? Why were people who lost their jobs listening to what their former employer telling them to do?

      “We need to let you go but from what we understand you need to apply for CERB instead of EI”

      As for the first question, term employees are usually rehired again and again with breaks between contracts so they don’t reach their 3 years of continuous employment making them indeterminate by default. My bet is that many just went on CERB instead of EI and now they’re in trouble because of that.
