+<p>Employment Insurance (EI) is a federally legislated social insurance program established under the Employment Insurance Act.
+It provides temporary financial support to individuals who are unemployed while seeking new employment or engaging in skill
+development. In addition to regular benefits, EI offers special provisions for workers who take leave due to significant life
+events such as illness, pregnancy, caring for a newborn or newly adopted child, supporting a critically ill or injured person,
+or tending to a family member facing a serious health condition with a risk of death.</p>
+<p>The EI program is funded through payroll contributions made by employees, known as Employment Insurance premiums. Employers
+also contribute by paying a premium that is calculated based on their employees’ deductions.</p>
+<p>While Employment Insurance is a government-mandated program, it may not be the only insurance plan available in the workplace.
+Many organizations offer private or non-government insurance options such as life and disability coverage, which are funded by
+employers, employees, or both. Although this chapter focuses specifically on the federally legislated EI program, additional
+information about private insurance plans will be covered in the later chapters.</p>
