About Benefits at UBC

Welcome to Benefits at UBC. Benefits, combined with Compensation (salaries) and Pension, are part of the University’s Total Compensation philosophy.

Our benefits plans are designed with the continuing health and well-being of our staff, faculty and their families in mind. UBC is proud to offer a wide ranging benefits plan that includes:

• medical services plan coverage
• extended health, emergency travel assistance (medi-passport), and dental coverage
• employee and family assistance program
• income replacement program (long-term disability)
• basic life insurance
• optional group life and accidental death & dismemberment insurance
• pension plan
• leave entitlements (including sick leaves and Supplemental Employment Benefits during maternity, parental and adoptive leaves)
• vacation
• personal and professional development opportunities, such as the tuition fee benefit.

Depending on your employee group and hours of work, you may be eligible for some or all of these benefits.
