According to Service Canada guidelines for completing the Record of Employment (ROE), the calculation for Block 15B, "Total insurable earnings," depends on the employee's pay period type. For employees with a weekly pay period, the employer must report the total insurable earnings from the last 27 consecutive pay periods. If the period of employment is shorter than 27 weeks, the employer reports the insurable earnings for all weekly pay periods worked. This ensures that Employment Insurance (EI) benefits are calculated based on a standardized recent earnings history.

A. Last 7 pay periods are used for monthly pay periods, not weekly.

B. Last 13 pay periods are used for bi-weekly or semi-monthly pay periods, not weekly.

C. Last 14 pay periods is not a standard ROE reporting period for any pay frequency.
