Employers with 10 or more full-time equivalent employees who provide benefits to those full-time employees must also provide those benefits to eligible part-time employees.
Eligible benefits include dental plans, group life, accidental death or dismemberment plans and prescription drug plans.
Part-time employees must be offered coverage under the four benefit plans when:
Part-time managers are eligible to receive comparable benefits to those received by full-time managers. Part-time non-managerial employees are eligible to receive comparable benefits to those received by full-time non-managerial employees.
Full-time students are not eligible for coverage. This includes students enrolled in 60 per cent of a full course load at a school, university, technical institute, regional college or private vocational school.
To maintain eligibility, an employee must work at least 780 hours in a calendar year. Employees on maternity, adoption or parental leave maintain their eligibility if they would have worked 780 hours had the leave not been taken.
When an employer becomes aware that an employee will lose eligibility, the employer must advise the employee, in writing, of the loss of eligibility.
Part-time employees who work between 15 and 30 hours a week receive 50 per cent of the benefits provided to comparable full-time employees. Part-time employees who work 30 or more hours in a week receive 100 per cent of the benefits provided to comparable full-time employees.
If plan benefits are determined by a formula based on annual earnings, the same formula is to be applied to part-time workers (e.g., group life insurance formula of two times annual income).
Benefit levels that must be offered to part-time employees for dental and drug plans are "basic plans." Except for drug plans, an employer can provide plans to part-time employees based on employee-only coverage, without coverage for spouses and dependents.
The contributions must be paid in the same way as the payment from full-time employees and be proportional to the level of benefits received.
Part-time employees should receive the same benefits as the full-time employees in the same bargaining unit.
