Employee Group Benefits

Eligibility for an employee group benefits plan depends on the insurer and the structure of the business. Some plans are designed for very small businesses, while others have higher participation requirements. Working with a licensed advisor can help determine what options may be available based on your company’s size and employee mix.

Some Canadian employers extend group benefits to part-time employees, but this is not universal. Eligibility criteria, such as minimum hours worked or length of service, may apply.

No, offering Employee Group Benefits is not mandatory for Canadian employers. However, many businesses provide them to attract and retain talent, as they are a significant part of employee compensation packages.
