<\/a>\n\u2022 Drugs: The coverage provides for \u201cvoluntary generic substitution\u201d. That means that unless your physician writes \u201cno substitution\u201d for
\na brand name prescription drug, the lowest cost generic equivalent is usually dispensed and reimbursed in full under the Plan.
\nHowever, if your physician writes \u201cno substitution\u201d, the brand name prescription drug will be dispensed and reimbursed in full under
\nthe Plan.
\n\u2022 Active at Work: Employees working a minimum of twenty (20) hours per week will continue to be considered \u201cactively at work\u201d and

\n\u2022 Manulife Cards: Any employee who completed an enrollment form, who has not yet received their Manulife Card, needs to notify
\nthe Company. A number of employees have had to complete new enrollment forms due to errors in their birth date or names on their
\nManulife Cards. When a new card is requested or there is a new enrollment, it takes Manulife five (5) business days to process the
\nrequest. Approximately ten (10) days following, the Company will receive the Manulife Card. The cards will be couriered to the
\nRegional Sites or for Vancouver employees, made available for pick-up at the Company\u2019s offices on the 4th floor of the DTB.
\n\u2022 Schedules of Benefits: The Schedules of Benefits will be attached to a paystub and distributed shortly by G4S. They will be
\navailable at each Site, from the Company or from the Chief Shop Steward.
\n\u2022 Dependent Parent Coverage: Dependent parents are subject to the eligibility requirements of the Income Tax Act. Once the
\nemployee can provide proof to G4S that the parent qualifies as a dependent for the purpose of the Federal Income Tax Act, they can
\nbe enrolled. They are entitled to the same coverage as employees over the age of seventy (70).
\n\u2022 Benefit Booklets: The Plan Text is presently being finalized between G4S and Manulife. Once the Plan Text is finalized a copy will
\nbe provided to the Union and Employee Benefit Booklets will be provided to all employees.
\n\u2022 Benefit Coverage Year: The maximum claim limit for coverage that is per calendar will renew annually each January 1st.
\nHowever, the maximum claim limit for coverage that is based on a rolling period will renew from the date of the last claim, i.e. Vision
\nCare, which is every twenty-four (24) months, if the employee utilizes the full $250.00 on November 30, 2012, they would not be able
\nto claim again until November 30, 2014.
\nIf there are any additional general issues that require clarification or resolution, please advise your respective Chief Shop Steward. Any
\nindividual disputes concerning claim errors or irregularities should first be referred to the Company at aviation.benefits@ca.g4s.com
\nfor resolution. If you are dissatisfied with the response and feel that your claim has been improperly adjudicated, please contact the
\nUnion for assistance.
