Benefit Plans
To meet the diverse needs of our employees we provide an extensive benefits plan as part of our Total Compensation Package. The Benefit Plan provides security and contributes to the health and well-being of you and your family. Benefits are provided for eligible employees of the Government of Yukon, Members of the Legislative Assembly, for persons employed under the Cabinet and Caucus Employees Act and for former employees receiving pension benefits.
The benefit plan generally available to all employee groups includes the Dental Plan, Extended Health Care plan, Long Term Disability Insurance and the Public Service Superannuation Plan (PSSP) Supplementary Death Benefit. Retirees are eligible for the Extended Health Care plan only. Additional benefits which are applicable to some groups include Basic Life Insurance, Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance, Dependent Life/Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance and Optional Life insurance. For a brief description of your benefits and of the plan details please click on the link for your employee group.
The group insurance benefit plans, with the exception of the Public Service Superannuation Plan (PSSP) Supplementary Death Benefit, are governed by the Public Service Group Insurance Benefit Plan (PSGIBP) Act. The PSSP Supplementary Death Benefit is tied to participation in the pension plan and falls under the responsibility of the Federal Government.
The group insurance benefits under the PSGIBP Act are managed by a Joint Management Committee (JMC), who report to the Minister of Finance. The JMC is made up of representatives from four employee groups (YEU, YTA, Confidential and Management) as well as three representatives from the employer (Finance and PSC).
The group insurance plans, with the exception of the Supplementary Death Benefit, are insured with Sun Life Financial of Canada. You can link to the Sun Life’s Member Services site for information regarding your Extended Health and Dental claims, when your next vision expense is eligible and when you are eligible for your next dental recall exam. You can also update your direct deposit information, and you can find more general helpful information on the site.
