I am looking at my forms for my Mat leave and for my current benefits my work is saying I have to pay the full amount of the benefits to keep them. I heard from someone that an employer must continue to pay their portion of benefits while an employee goes on mat leave. Does anyone have any more information about this?

I only continue to pay my portion. My employer pays his because I'm still considered employed.

I am looking at my forms for my Mat leave and for my current benefits my work is saying I have to pay the full amount of the benefits to keep them. I heard from someone that an employer must continue to pay their portion of benefits while an employee goes on mat leave. Does anyone have any more information about this?I googled a bit for you. This is from the HRSDC site.. The Company will continue to provide medical, extended health, dental and optical plan and group insurance benefits during the period of leave and the Company shall continue to make payment to the plan in the same manner as if the employee were not absent where: (a) The Company pays the total cost of the plan, or (b) The employees elects to continue to pay her share of the cost of a plan that is paid for jointly by the Company and the leave. Basic Sick Leave benefits will not be available during the leave. The Company will continue at no expense to the employee, Life Insurance, Drug Insurance, Dental, Extended Health, Semi-private Hospital and Ambulance Insurance Plans for the duration of an approved maternity leave. So, I think in the end it depends on how it's currently done. If you pay into it, you would have to continue paying your portion.. If your employer pays it, they have to continue to pay it. I suppose there could be acceptions, who knows. This is the site for it.. You may have to scroll down a little ways, or click on the appropriate link at the top of the page to drop down to benefits. http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/en/lp/spila/wlb/wfp/11Maternity_Leave.shtml#7 The above quoted is for BC, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec.. The remainder wasn't very specific. Maybe if you read through more on that site it'll provide more info on that. Hopefully that helps.

I had to pay out the amount I was previously paying each month for any of the benefits I have. So for example, I was paying about $5 a month dental (for 100% coverage) so I had to pay 5$ X 12 months =$60. Same with the amount for medical benefits. I could also opt out of having the coverage if I wanted. DH's benefits covered us as well but not quite 100% so I kept mine.
