Rights & Benefits: Health

Our Collective Agreement (Article 7) and Article 9 of the Common Agreement (grey pages at the back) provide us with a comprehensive set of Health Benefits that include Basic Medical, Extended Health Benefits, Dental Coverage, Sick Leave (on an entitlement accrual basis), Short-term and Long-term Disabilty. Appendix III-A on page 92 of our Collective Agreement sets out the various qualifying timelines and eligibilities for different classes of instructors.

More detailed information on health and other benefits is available in the College's "Employee Benefits Booklet" available from the Human Resources department.

Questions should be forwarded to stewards.
