Benefits The BC Games Society offers extended benefits to eligible staff members to support the health and well-being of staff members and their dependents. For details of coverage, please see the group insurance plan manual . When a staff member starts, they will be given a benefits enrollment form to fill out, and will be enrolled with Manulife, our benefits provider. Health evidence must be submitted for staff members and be approved by Manulife before coverage can commence. Health and dental benefit premiums are paid 100% by the BC Games Society. Staff members with existing extended health and dental coverage through their spouse, or who have obtained coverage privately, may choose to opt out of participating in the extended health and dental plans. No compensation for other coverage will be provided by the BC Games Society. The Manulife plan also includes mandatory life insurance, long-term disability (LTD), and accidental death and dismemberment (AD and D). Optional additional coverage may be purchased through Manulife; premiums for any optional coverage are paid by the staff member. Inclusion of dependents in the benefits plan is mandatory. All dependents must be added to the plan at the time the staff member enrolls in benefits, or at the time they become a dependent of the staff member. Premiums for dependents are paid 100% by the BC Games Society if the dependents are

added as noted above. Health Development
