POLICY
|
|
4.1
|
Effective October 1, 1988, the Government will contribute 100% of the
provincial health insurance premiums for employees in the DM category residing
in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario and also 100% of the GSMIP premiums
for Level III coverage for all employees in the DM category (DM equivalents are
not included).
|
|
4.2

The amounts of the health insurance remuneration supplement entitlements will
not be affected by this decision.

|
PROCEDURES/INSTRUCTIONS
|
|
5.1
|
In order to permit various premiums, many with employee contributions of $0.00,
it will now be necessary to include both employee and employer shares of
premiums when reporting GSMIP or provincial health care deductions for
employees in the DM category.
|
|
5.2
|
Therefore, when either commencing or amending GSMIP or Alberta, British
Columbia or Ontario health insurances for these employees, the government share
must be completed in field 69. This field should not, however, be completed
when commencing or amending overage dependent deductions for these
employees.
|
|
5.3
|
In order that this change be reflected on the October pay cheques, all input to
amend these deductions must be submitted prior to processing of the first pay
in October.
|
|
5.4
|
Paying offices will confirm the date that these changes will be available for
use in the system as well as the last possible date for input prior to
processing of October pay.
