If the employer chooses to lay off an employee temporarily due to vaccination status, the employee can keep their benefits (with the exception of disability insurance) for a maximum of 12 months*. Once the 12 months* has passed and their employment status remains unchanged, the employee will lose their benefits and be considered terminated.
In order to prevent any inequality, it is recommended that the employer provide an HR guide outlining the company’s position in this type of situation. Assumption Life allows coverage for a maximum of 12 months*, and the percentage of coverage and cost of premiums can vary depending on the group plan.
*Please check your group contract in the "Extended Coverage" section to ensure that
the 12 months period applies. Periods vary depending on the group contract.
