Group Benefits are an extension of your provincial medical plan that allow for additional benefits such as Health and Dental and can include Long Term Disability, Critical Illness and Life Insurance as well as an Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Group benefits are designed for companies of all sizes and rates usually favor companies greater than 3 employees. For any companies with less than 10 employees, 100% participation in mandatory and employers sponsor the plan by contributing usually 50% of the premiums or higher. Companies greater than 10 have more leverage but 100% participation is usually suggested to protect your employees.
The most tangible benefits that favor the employee are paramedical services such as Massage, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy and equally Dental coverage. Prescription drug, although mainly unexpected, accounts for about 70% of the cost of a health plan due the surmounting cost of leading edge drugs ranging in the hundreds of thousand dollar per year.
