GI-2024-50-reg6: Employment Insurance Board of Appeal Regulations

These regulations primarily affect individual EI claimants and employers who need to appeal EI benefit reconsideration decisions — approximately 4,000 appeals are expected per year. Employers appealing decisions must provide their CRA business number and contact details, and may be added as parties to claimant appeals if they were previously notified of the reconsideration decision. The regulations confirm no direct compliance costs or administrative burden on Canadian businesses, and the small business lens analysis concluded there is no impact on small businesses. The only incremental cost identified is $330,136 over 10 years for government travel expenses when panels hear cases outside an appellant's home region — costs borne entirely by the government, not businesses.
