Manages members’ employment status and personal information.

Your employer is responsible for keeping your employment record and your personal information up to date and providing it to OTIP (i.e. your name, date of birth, mailing address, FTE/hours worked, work status, etc.).

Provides members’ employment information to OTIP. Using this information, OTIP can determine eligibility, enrolment, and benefit costs.
 
OTIP calculates what you are responsible for paying for your benefits based on the employment information provided by your employer and then provides this information back to your employer to administer via payroll.
 
If you work more than a 0.3 FTE, then any benefit premiums, you are responsible for paying, are deducted from your pay by your employer.
 
For example, if you work a 0.7 FTE and are responsible for 30% of your benefit premiums, the employer will deduct this monthly amount from your pay based on their payroll schedule.

Claim payer/insurers:
 
Manulife
 
Teachers Life

Manulife underwrites and issues life insurance policies, and pays health and dental claims on behalf of the ELHT.

Teachers Life is the insurer of the Accidental Death and Dismemberment benefit.

New to enrolling in your benefits plan?
 
Members enrolling in their benefits plan and who are responsible for benefit costs will see a deduction on their next month’s pay or bank account that consists of:

• The premium for the current month AND

• Any outstanding monthly premiums (backdated to your eligibility date)

 E.g. Jean-Pierre started an eligible permanent position on September 4. His monthly premium is $50. Therefore, his total premium deduction in October will be $100.
