With the exception of some agricultural, forestry and fisheries businesses, any company that employs even one worker is subject to employment insurance and is required to enroll in employment insurance.
For this reason, application forms for employment-related residence status include a section for entering the employment insurance applicable business number along with the corporate number of the affiliated organization.
Employment insurance provides benefits to workers in the event of unemployment, etc., to ensure their livelihood and employment stability.
However, there are companies that have not enrolled in this employment insurance, even though they employ workers.
Some of the clients who come to us for consultation have companies that are not enrolled in employment insurance.
Each time we inform people that they are obligated to enroll in employment insurance, some say, "Until now, applications have been approved even for those who have not enrolled, so my company will not enroll either."
In fact, up until now, it seems that applications for residence status were permitted even if you were not enrolled in employment insurance, but there is no guarantee that this will continue to be the case in the future.
We encourage you to understand the purpose of employment insurance, and if you are not yet enrolled despite your obligation to do so, we recommend that you enroll as soon as possible.
