What are Employee Benefits?
Employee benefits can help to greatly improve the appeal of your business and make you stand out in an otherwise highly competitive talent market. Employers are beginning to assess the benefits of offering comprehensive employee perks to ensure retention and attract top talent. Employees nowadays will compare between benefits more than just wages when choosing between opportunities, and you want to make sure your business stands out.
The goal of any good employee group benefits package is to help cover expenses that may not be covered by Canada’s public health plan. There are several main aspects to company benefit plans, and those include:
Group Health, Vision & Dental Insurance
Life Insurance & Critical Illness Coverage
Prescription Drug Coverage
Employee Assistance Programs
Disability Coverage
Wellness Coverage
Employment benefits can range from more expensive to relatively inexpensive, depending on the benefits being offered. Canada work benefits range anywhere from remote working days to comprehensive group health insurance plans, so we advise working with an expert to decide what benefits plans are best for your budget, your employees, and your business.

Depending on the group benefits, yes. Some employment benefits in Canada are mandatory, such as CPP (Canada Pension Plan) , employment insurance, and workers’ compensation insurance. Non-mandatory benefits are offered by employers at the employers’ discretion. Some company benefits will include non-mandatory benefits like free lodging, company car, life insurance, company cell phone, extended healthcare, and disability insurance.
What are common employee benefits in Canada?
Extended health care, or group health insurance, is one of the most common employee benefits in Canada. Supplementary pension, additional paid days off, maternity and parental leave, and wellness programs are also common employee benefits in Canada.
Why choose group benefits?
Beyond the mandatory programs that you are required to carry as an employer, we advise choosing group benefits to help attract new talent, but also retain your existing team members, protect the health and wellbeing of your employees (your biggest asset, arguably) and ensure that your team members are happy and in the best place to do their best work.
Also, most group benefits programs are considered a tax-deductible business expense.
