Concepts used to determine benefits The determination of continuing or loss of eligibility is
based on a calculation of hours worked during a 12-month “look-back” measurement period.
Measurement periods are:– November 1 to October 31 for monthly paid
employees – November 9 to November 7 for bi-weekly paid
employees First measurement period started November 2014.
