Good afternoon Sessionals,
The premium payments for your dental plan ($115 for single coverage) will be deducted from your October 17th pay. The deduction should be listed on your pay stub as “CUPE Dental.” Anyone who has opted out of the plan should not see a deduction.
For those of you covered by the plan, your individual coverage provides 100% for most standard basic services up to $1,000 per calendar year.
Your dental coverage eligibility period will be backdated to September 1st, 2025 and run through until August 31st, 2026. There might be a slight delay before you are listed as “active” in the dental plan provider’s system as McMaster will need to send them the dental premiums that are deducted.
