Short and Long Term Disability

Group Critical Illness

Group critical illness pays a lump sum benefit of up to $50,000 in the event of severe illness or injury.

The Chambers Plan Health Spending Account (HSA) adds flexibility for your employees by letting them reduce out-of-pocket costs for expenses not covered under the group plan or top up existing benefits coverage.

The Chambers Plan HSA is designed to supplement, not replace, existing Health and Dental coverage. It is there to complement insured group coverage and is not a standalone offering.

An HSA can cover, but is not limited to, the following expenses:

• Dental services such as orthodontic treatment
• Prescription drugs out-of-pocket expenses
• Vision care such as laser vision correction
• Medical facilities and devices
• Additional coverage for services such as chiropractic and massage

For more information on eligibility or eligible expenses, visit Revenue Canada’s website.

Depending on your needs and existing coverage, you can choose a maximum yearly amount for each employee between $100 and $5,000. You can also select between three different plan designs: No Carry Over (employees must use their HSA funds within the calendar year), Funds Carry Over (employees can add unclaimed funds from year one to their balance for year two), and Claims Carry Over (employees can carry unclaimed claims into the following calendar year).

Basic Employee Life / Accidental Death and Dismemberment

This option provides employee life insurance plus an additional benefit in case of serious injury or accidental death. You can choose a basic level of coverage (e.g. $25,000) or a salary-related amount.

Three levels of coverage are available to cover your employees’ spouses and children.

Group Optional Life

Group optional life allows employees to top up their group life insurance with an amount they choose and pay for. Spousal coverage and children’s benefits are also available.

Employee Assistance

• Rent
• Electricity
• Phone bills
• Leases
• Taxes
• Some salaries

Registered Retirement Savings (RRSP)

A group RRSP allows employees to invest in a variety of mutual funds, as well as term deposits. Employees will have online access to their assets and accounts. Contributions are deducted from payroll at source, reducing taxable income.
