participates there will also be a waiting period of 2 weeks for him. It is assumed
177
in the following that the wife has the entire leave period. The compensation is 55
per cent of the lost income up to a ceiling, which is 39,000 CAD in 1997. The
scheme is a part of the 'Employment Insurance' scheme.
The wife has a wage reduction of 27/52, i.e. 8,934 CAD. The compensation is
25/27 × 8,934 × 0.55 = 4,550 CAD. This compensation leaves the couple with a
gross income (disregarding the family allowance) of 47,234 CAD which is the
basis for calculation of the 'tax back' of the family allowance. The 'tax back' here
is 0.05 × (47,234 - 25,921) = 1,066 CAD, where it in the full employment case
was 1,285 CAD, a difference of 219 CAD which is added to the benefit of 4,550
CAD, in total 4,769 CAD.
The gross compensation percentage is 4,769 / 8,934 × 100 = 53. 27 weeks of
maternity leave (for the wife alone) results in a disposable income of 37,453
CAD for the couple including allowance for 2 children (1 child 3 years old and
1 born in 1997).
The decrease in disposable income compared to the situation where the couple
has two children (3 and 1 year) is 40,102-37,453 = 2,649 CAD or 6.6 per cent.
2. In this calculation the common period of 14 weeks is used. Her wage reduction
is 14/52, i.e. 4,632 CAD. The compensation is 12/14 × 4,632 × 0.55 = 2,184
CAD. The difference in 'tax back' of the family allowance is 123 CAD in this
case. The result is a total benefit of 2,307 CAD.
The gross compensation percentage is 2,307 / 4,632 × 100 = 50. 14 weeks of
maternity leave results in a disposable income of 38,608 CAD.
The decrease in disposable income compared to the situation, where the couple
has two children is 40,102 - 38,608 = 1,494 CAD or 3.7 per cent.
