 |
|
Hi
Has anyone out there in the world of public schools ever been asked to take out employment insurance?
I have just been told, having already worked here for 6 months, that it is mandatory for an E-2 visa.
Can anyone confirm or deny this? |

| Might've been paying it for years as part of the taxes, but I've certainly never heard of it. |

| That's a lot of hogwash. Tell 'em to stuff it. Employment insurance. Give me a break. |

This is supposedly in addition to the taxes and pension we pay. Apparently, I may have to take out an insurance policy! |

| Its optional for E2 visa holders. My public school thought the same but after I made them check it out they found it was optional. You dont have to take it but they do have to offer it. |

Really?
Well, if it is optional then I think I will pass. I only have 6 months left anyway.
If they insist, I will get them to check with immigration. |
