Health & Welfare Benefits
Your Health & Welfare plan operates on an hours bank system, where hours worked are accumulated and used to fund your coverage. This system ensures that your benefits are directly tied to your employment, reflecting your active participation in the workforce.
For detailed information on how the hours bank operates, eligibility requirements, and how to manage your account, please refer to the Ellement website or contact our Edmonton Hall for assistance.
Pension Plan
The Pension Plan is a vital component of your retirement strategy, providing you with a stable income upon retirement. Contributions are made on your behalf by your employer, and the plan is designed to offer long-term financial security.
