For an electronic Record of Employment for a weekly pay period type, up to how many consecutive pay periods must be reported for insurable earnings in Block 15B?

• A. 12
• B. 27
• C. 52
• D. 6

Answer: (B)

Block 15B is where you record the insurable earnings for the period(s) covered by the ROE. For a weekly pay period, you report up to 27 consecutive weeks of insurable earnings in this field. This 27-week window provides enough earnings history—roughly 26 weeks prior to the claim plus the current week—to support accurate EI benefit calculations. If the employee’s earnings history extends beyond that window, the additional past weeks aren’t required for determining benefits in the current claim, so the focus stays on the most relevant 27 weeks.
