Employment Insurance Boards of Referees

The Employment Insurance Boards of Referees (EIBR) function as a first-level, independent, administrative tribunal mandated to provide fair and impartial quasi-judicial hearings of appeals of Employment Insurance decisions. Most appeals are from individual claimants, although employers may also appeal. The most frequently appealed decisions cover issues such as voluntary leaving, misconduct, and undeclared earnings during the course of a claim or fraud.

These legislatively prescribed Boards of Referees sit part-time in panels of three: a chairperson appointed by the Governor in Council, an insured persons (worker) representative appointed by the Commissioner for Workers and an employer representative appointed by the Commissioner for Employers, following consultation with national worker or employer organizations.

For more information, please visit Employment Insurance Boards of Referees.
