Is my postdoctoral candidate eligible for benefits and who pays the premiums?

All postdoctoral fellows are eligible for benefits; however, they are not automatically enrolled in the plan. If your PDF is in the union and they opt into the benefit plan, you will be responsible for paying 70 per cent of the monthly benefit premiums. If your PDF is not in the union, then they are required to pay 100 per cent of their monthly benefit premiums.
