CUPE 4600 has negotiated a comprehensive Health & Dental Benefits plan for all Contract Instructors at Carleton University. This plan includes vision care, travel insurance, extended health benefits, a drug plan, telehealth, and other coverage. The plan is subsidized by the employer for CIs, but not for their partner or families should they choose to add them to their plan.
During terms that you are teaching as a CI, you will receive an email from the plan administrator, Canadian Benefits Consulting Group (CanBen). This email will provide details on the plan and instructions on how to access your benefits. It will also detail how to opt out of the benefits plan, if that is your preference.
If have not received an email from CanBen, please contact your union at bao@cupe4600.ca
