Watch the video.

Answer: Your University requires that you have accident insurance to protect you for injuries. This also protects the University and the Agency that is graciously allowing you to train at their site.

Answer: That is good news that you have personal insurance. Everyone should. The problem is that your insurance as well as your group insurance benefits are unknown to the University. Your WSIB may only cover you while you are at your paying job. If you have other insurance or WSIB coverage at your practicum site, you must provide a “Letter of Confirmation of Coverage” from your site confirming that you are covered for your practicum time. Otherwise you must secure the Workplace Insurance coverage.

Answer: Yes you may, if your Employer is not covering you with WSIB for your practicum. Your practicum is additional duties over and above your regular work duties therefore you must obtain Workplace Insurance.

Answer: Yes. Your current disability coverage does not protect the University or the Agency providing your practicum time nor you. If you suffer another injury while doing your practicum, you need insurance coverage. The University and the Agency both require you to have this coverage. There are no exceptions. This is the only way that all parties can be assured that there is consistent protection for all.

Answer: If you are doing your practicum, you need a Workplace Insurance Plan. This is a prerequisite in order to participate. The other employees may have private coverage like Workplace Insurance of which you are not aware. If not, they are at great risk.

Answer: Yes. You can download a brochure from the web site. There is also a short video on the web site that explains the coverage. Visit www.workplaceins.ca

Answer: The Enrollment Form is on the web site. Look under University Plan or click this link to download.

Answer: Yes, but only for the disability income portion of this benefit if you have never worked previously. If you are working while doing your practicum, then the salary you received from employment counts towards your benefit calculation. Should you be a full time student with no current earned income then there is a reduced benefit of $100.00 per week. In all cases the “Permanent Disability Benefit” and all other benefits are active for you while you are on your practicum.

Answer: You are becoming part of a large group insurance policy when you are enrolled with the Workplace Insurance Plan. That plan has monthly premiums not weekly premiums. Remember that Workplace Insurance covers you 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. Whether you are on the job or off the job. It is good value.

Answer: Example. Start: Jan. 6th, Ending August 22nd. (That’s Jan, Feb., Mar., Apr., May, June, July, August = 8 mon.) Total premium is 8 x Monthly Premium= Full Amount .

Answer: Short term coverage periods of 6 months or less require full payment up front. The University and the Agency providing your practicum must be sure that the insurance is in force. Should you require the Workplace Insurance Plan for a longer period than 6 months then the monthly pre-authorization is possible.

Answer: Yes. We welcome you to continue with your Workplace Insurance Plan. You can set up the continued coverage at any time. We will schedule your monthly premiums to start when your practicum terminates or any time after that date.
