Benefits & Pension

Benefits and pension arrangements are important parts of members’ total compensation.

Eligibility for benefits and pension participation may depend on an employee’s status, hours worked, position, and the applicable terms of the Collective Agreement or a related memorandum of understanding.

If you are unsure when you become eligible or believe you have reached an eligibility threshold, contact the Local for help.

Extended Health Benefits

Banff Centre’s group benefits plan is administered by Alberta Blue Cross. Eligible plan members can use the Alberta Blue Cross member site to review their coverage, access their identification card, submit and track claims, and manage their account information. Updated guidelines and a current claim form will be posted here once the revised documents are received.

Health and Wellness Spending Account

Banff Centre administers the Health and Wellness Spending Account for eligible salaried employees. Updated guidelines and a current claim form will be posted here once the revised documents are received.

Public Service Pension Plan

Eligible salaried members participate in Alberta’s Public Service Pension Plan (PSPP). PSPP is a defined-benefit pension plan funded by member and employer contributions. A member’s pension is calculated under the plan’s rules using pensionable salary and pensionable service.
