Check your benefits before you decide
Policy Hub holds the current, approved wording
Open Policy Hub and search for the benefit you are interested in, such as health plan, EAP, leave or retirement savings. Eligibility can depend on your role, hours and location, so read the eligibility section on the policy itself.
- Search by benefit name, for example "employee assistance" or "parental leave"
- Check the effective date shown on the policy
- Note who is eligible: full-time, part-time or shift-based roles may differ
If a policy does not answer your question, or you are unsure whether a service or treatment is covered, ask first. Contact People & Culture using the contacts below, and have your location and role ready.
- Write down the service or provider you are considering
- Ask in writing so you can refer back to the answer
- Expect a reply within 2 business days (example target)
Want to talk to someone?
Pick the route that feels right. You do not have to explain everything to ask.
- Your manager: for schedule or workload changes
- People & Culture: for benefits, leave and workplace concerns
- Employee Assistance Program: free, confidential counselling (example)
- In an emergency, call your local emergency number first
