Не зовсім так. Якщо є операція і recovery, то є EI sickness benefits, якщо відпрацьована достатня кількість годин.
Some employers provide their own paid sick leave or short-term disability plan. Before you apply for EI sickness benefits, check with your employer to find out if they have a plan in place.
We encourage you to apply for benefits as soon as possible and let us determine if you're eligible.
You need to demonstrate that:
you're unable to work for medical reasons
your regular weekly earnings from work have decreased by more than 40% for at least 1 week
you accumulated 600 insured hours of work in the 52 weeks before the start of your claim or since the start of your last claim, whichever is shorter
While you’re receiving sickness benefits, you must remain otherwise available for work, if it weren’t for your medical condition.
