Is a medical exam required?

You and your employees do not have to provide medical information when you enroll in the Employee Benefits Plan - only when you purchase additional life insurance beyond the amount provided by the Economy, Basic or Enhanced Plans.

Do employees who are already covered by another plan have to join?

An employee who has coverage through their spouse's plan may opt out of the health and dental benefits and enroll only in the life, accident and disability benefits.

Can I choose just some of the benefits and not others?

No. The plan is designed as a package. You select the Economy, Basic or Enhanced Plan and this choice applies to you and all your employees.

How much does the Employee Benefits Plan cost?

The premium costs are based on group size and whether you choose the Economy, Basic or Enhanced Plan. To obtain a current schedule of premiums, contact Mercer Human Resource Consulting at: 604-609-3159 or email: joanne.campbell@mercer.com. You may choose to share the cost with your employees keeping in mind your share must be at least 50% of the total premium.

Can I claim the premium as a business expense?

An incorporated business can claim all benefit premiums. A sole proprietor may be able to deduct part of the cost. Ask your accountant for details.
