ATTENTION FULL-TIME AND PARTIAL LOAD EMPLOYEES
Sun Life reviews the utilization of group insurance benefits at regular intervals. From time to time premium rates for these benefits are adjusted either upwards or downwards to reflect the level of usage, cost to provide these benefits, anticipated cost to maintain the benefits in the future and the cost of inflation.
Effective February 1, 2022 premium rates will be adjusted as itemized in the table below. These premium changes have been reviewed and approved by the Joint Insurance Committee (JIC) of OPSEU, OCASA and College Compensation and Appointments Council.
Employees may see an increase or decrease in the employee portion of the benefit premiums depending on the type of benefits they have elected.
The current employee/employer cost sharing arrangements will continue as shown below.
