Servisair/Swissport: Benefits update

Servisair/Swissport: Benefits update

October 26, 2015 at 12:00 PM

To all Unifor members employed by Servisair/Swissport,

We are pleased to announce that outstanding benefit issues have been settled with Servisair/Swissport. In approximately 2-3 months, members of the previous Handlex and Servisair plans will be automatically enrolled in the ratified Servisair/Swissport benefits package. Your participation in the previous benefit plans will cease thereafter.

Staying true to our ratified contract, the terms of the soon-to-be introduced group benefits plan have not changed. Membership voted ‘yes’ to the February 2015 agreement so it was essential that we stuck to this commitment and delivered the same plan at an affordable price point.
  

The costs of the ratified plan are as follows:

  • For a full-time member earning $40,000 annually, the cost for ‘single’ enrolment is approximately $49.60/biweekly

  • For a full-time member earning $40,000 annually, the cost for ‘family’ enrolment is approximately $71.15/biweekly

  • For a part-time member earning $20,000 annually, the cost for ‘single’ enrolment is approximately $10.04/biweekly

  • For a part-time member earning $20,000, the cost for ‘family’ enrolment is approximately $31.59/biweekly

* These figures are approximates as elements on the benefit plan depend directly on earnings.

  

A critical part of our benefit review process was a survey of the Ontario benefits landscape, focusing on comparable industries and job profiles. We firmly believe the member benefit costs are reasonable and true to the ratified contract.

  

In the chart below, please find the premiums paid by members enrolled in the previous Handlex/Servisair plans. These figures are based on a member earning $40,000 annually.
