Administrative Executive: Benefit Eligibility, Start Date and Cost

Administrative Executives hold senior administrative roles – such as vice president or associate vice president of non-academic units – at UBC.

The benefits you are eligible for as an Administrative Executive depend on:

your age at your date of hire, and
your salary, which determines whether you are eligible to enrol in the Staff Pension Plan or Faculty Pension Plan.

You are eligible for the first Administrative Executive benefits program if your annual salary for 2019 is less than $168,086.66.

You are eligible for the second Administrative Executive benefits program if your annual salary for 2019 is $168,086.66 or greater, which represents the maximum earnings for the Staff Pension Plan.

Before you enrol in your benefit package, please review the table below to familiarize yourself with:

the benefits you are eligible for,
whether these benefits are mandatory or optional,
