Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about employee health benefits.
Think of them as the Plan, the Platform, and the Perks.
- Employee Health Benefits (The Plan): This is your core group insurance coverage—dental, vision, and health care. Our licensed brokerage team works with you to design and negotiate this policy with major Canadian carriers.
- Benefits+ (The Platform): This is the administration software that manages your plan. It syncs your HR data to your insurance carrier portal , allowing for digital enrollments, timely terminations, and giving employees access to their coverage details right in the Employment Hero Work app.
- Marketplace (The Perks): This is a hub of exclusive corporate discounts on extra services outside of your insurance plan. It gives your team access to preferred pricing on things like online wills (Willful), mental health therapy (Inkblot), and virtual pet care (Vetster).
How they work together: You use Employee Health Benefits to get the right insurance policy, Benefits+ to run it without the paperwork, and the Marketplace to sweeten the deal with lifestyle perks using exclusive corporate discounts.
Benefits+ is most powerful when paired with our in-house brokerage service, as it allows licensed advice and guidance. However, you can use the Employment Hero platform to manage HR alongside an existing plan. Book a demo to discuss your specific setup.
Costs and coverage are dependent on a variety of factors. Our team will work closely with you to assess your teams needs and provide options within your budget.
There are no fees or additional costs for switching your benefits advisor to Employment Hero
While most carriers require at least three employees to form a group plan, we have options for businesses of all sizes.
Not at all. We manage the entire transfer process for you, ensuring there is no gap in coverage for your employees. Our team will be there to support you with all the paperwork, so the transition is seamless for both you and your team.
If you love your current plan and want to take advantage of our strong customer service or an all-in-one experience, Employment Hero can simply take on the role as your advisor. This allows you to update your experience with our Benefits+ administration while keeping the coverage your employees already know and trust. Transitioning from your current broker to Employment Hero requires a single signature and coverage remains uninterrupted.
Ready to revolutionize your benefits?
From finding the right plan to ongoing support and administration, we make benefits as rewarding as they should be.
