without limitation, Long Term Disability benefits, Basic Life
Insurance, Optional Life Insurance, Dependants' Life
Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment
benefits; and
(ii)
subject to paragraph (c), prescription drug benefits for drugs
ordinarily covered by the Ontario Drug Benefit Plan or any
successor thereto.
(c)
In the event that the Ontario Drug Benefit Plan or any successor
thereto is amended such that full time employees who have
attained the age of 65 are, or may become ineligible, to receive
prescription drug benefits under that Plan in certain circumstances,
the employer and the union will consider whether it is necessary or
appropriate to amend the provisions of clauses (a)(ii) and (b)(ii),
and if so, they will negotiate alternate provisions respecting
prescription drug benefits that do not result in a greater overall cost
to the employer than would have been incurred in the absence of
such amendments.
16.04 (a) The Employer reserves the right to change the carrier of any of the
benefit plans provided that the level of benefit coverage is not
decreased. Notice of such change of carrier will be communicated
to the Union prior to change.
(b)
Extended Health and Dental Plans shall be administered to
ensure that Employees will not suffer any overall reduction in
benefit value and coverage.
16.05 The Union agrees that the Employer may allocate the Employment
Insurance Premium Rebate received for each Employee towards the
annual cost of benefit plans.
16.06 Where an Employee recovers funds from a third party any amount claimed
for loss of wages or sick leave, shall be repaid to the Employer forthwith
the amount of all monies paid to the Employee, for the period for which
such amount is recovered from the third party, provided that the amount to
be repaid to the Employer shall not exceed the amount recovered from the
third party. Should an Employee not arrange a re-payment schedule
within a reasonable period of time, after recovery of the funds from the
third party, the Employee agrees that the Employer shall have the right to
deduct, from the Employee's regular pays, an amount not to exceed the
amount allowed by law, for the number of pays required, in order to
recover said monies.
