As a seasonal worker now collecting El benefits and without a scheduled return date will I continue to be eligible for El benefits during a strike or lockout?
Usually, yes. However, if the employer can convince El that there is a pattern of employment that shows that without the strike or lockout you would have been back to work, then El will cut you off. 6. As a seasonal worker, I received a phone call to return to work and signed a contract but I have only been scheduled for 2 days of work so far and I am not scheduled to work in the future. Am I eligible for El benefits during a strike or lockout? It depends on the reason why you were not scheduled for more work. If it is because of a strike or lockout that you are not at work, then you would not be eligible for El benefits. On the other hand, if you had been recalled on an “on call” basis, then it would be harder for El to determine that you should be disqualified. Since this is not a dear cut situation, it would be best to apply for El and have them make the determination on your eligibility. 7. As a seasonal worker, I have been called back to work but I am only working 2 days per week.
