Where the employee elects to extend maternity leave and reduced Employment Insurance maternity benefits, the lower benefit rate is provided by the Employment Insurance Act, the Supplemental Unemployment Benefit (SUB) shall be calculated based on the difference between eighty percent (80%) of her regular weekly earning and the sum her weekly employment insurance (EI) benefits would have been had she elected to receive the higher benefit rate as provided by the Employment Insurance Act. It is understood by the parties that individuals who choose to receive the lower EI benefits will not receive any greater SUB than individuals who choose to receive the higher EI benefit. Regular weekly earnings for full-time employees shall be determined by multiplying her regular hourly rate on her last day worked prior to the commencement of the leave times her normal weekly hours. Regular weekly earnings for part-time and casual employees shall be determined by multiplying her regular hourly rate on her last day worked prior to the commencement of the leave, times her average weekly hours worked based on the highest twenty-one (21) weeks of earnings over the preceding fifty-two (52) weeks.
