13th Collective Agreement MOA Regarding the Interim Award of the Arbitration Board Concerning Post 65 Benefits
Posted on Thu, Aug 26 2010
Please be advised that the following post 65 benefits have been agreed upon by the Acadia University Faculty Association and Board of Governors of Acadia University:
1. Basic Life: Coverage will be extended to age 76, continuing on a 10% declining scale from 66-76.
2. Optional Life: An extra band will be added from 65-70.
3. Long Term Disability: Coverage will be extended to age 70; from 65-70 employees in receipt of the LTD benefit will receive it for a maximum of 2 years. Since the six month qualifying period must be completed by age 70, plan participants will not pay LTD premiums beyond age 69.5. All AUFA members remain eligible for the six months sick leave at full pay provided by article 24 of the Collective Agreement.
4. Blue Cross will be offered without prescription drugs at the active employee rate. Prescription drug coverage and payment of the drug coverage premium will terminate at age 65, with the expectation that the employee would then apply for Pharmacare.
Life, Optional Life and LTD will be reinstated to employees whose coverage was terminated due to age. Extension of coverage of all of the above will apply to all eligible employees, not only members of AUFA.
No vote by the bargaining unit will be required and implementation will be effective September 1, 2010.
