pay of all such students and will
process pay adjustments and rate changes for future payrolls.

Please note that no rate changes

To facilitate timely and accurate processing of the
employee/spouse/dependent tuition benefit, completed tuition benefit
forms must be received in the human resources department by a specified
date in each semester.

Deadline dates for 2011-2012 are as follows:

2011 Fall Term – September 28, 2011

2012 Winter Term – January 24, 2012

2012 Intersession – May 8, 2012

2012 Summer Session – July 10, 2012

It is each employee’s responsibility to ensure the form is properly
completed and submitted on time. Forms received after the cutoff date
will not be processed resulting in the student being responsible for
payment of the full cost of tuition.

As well, they provide recommendations on premium rates for the coming year.  The main elements in determining rates are forecasted increases in the costs of goods and services and expected changes in utilization.

The FBRC is pleased to report that 2010 was another very encouraging year insofar as our Plan finances are concerned.  Despite the industry trends of significant increases in drug costs and utilization, this year the UNB Health Plan will only face a modest increase of approximately 1.5%.  In 2010, the UNB Dental Plan experienced a combination of events that created upward pressure on premium rates including a decrease in UNB Dental Plan enrolment and a 2.8% increase in overall claims expenses.  To maintain the financial stability of the UNB Dental Plan, a 10% rate increase will be implemented effective July 1, 2011.  This rate increase will include updating coverage to the 2011 Dental Fee Guide levels.  We continue to have very good experience in our Group Life & Family Protection Benefit Plan and our Long Term Disability Plan.  These premium rates will remain unchanged for 2011-2012. 

The combined impact of these changes for an employee who has full family coverage will be approximately $2.62 bi-weekly.

Effective on July 1, 2011, premiums will be as follows:

A report outlining activities of the Fringe Benefits Review Committee, including updates to benefit coverage, will be provided in the fall.

This will require an adjustment to the rate of pay
for all current students who are paid an hourly rate below $9.50. Human
Resources will review the pay of all such students and will process pay
adjustments and rate changes for future payrolls.

Please note that no rate changes will be applied to
any student employees whose hourly rate is already $9.50 or more per
hour. If you wish to increase the hourly rate of any undergraduate
student currently paid at or above $9.50 per hour you must notify us directly by
completing a new staff change form.
