Health and dental care and other benefits are part of a comprehensive benefits package for which millions of Canadians are signed up.
Your company might provide you with insurance (Life, Disability, Critical Illness, etc.), dental and health care coverage and/or a pension/group RRSP.
When one leaves their employment, what happens to them?
Eventually, you may decide you've had enough of your current workplace. Whether you leave your current position to take on a new one elsewhere, quit your day job and create a business of your own, swap professions or retire, you may wonder what happens to your benefits.
Coverage often only extends during active employment with the employer, though this may vary by plan and provider. In most cases, once your notice period ends, so do your benefits if you resign. If you are laid off, your benefits may remain for a set time, but if you are fired, they may terminate immediately.
Talk to your company's HR department as soon as you know you'll leave to determine when your benefits will stop. You can also contact your service provider to determine your choices for maintaining your coverage and perks.
