Benefits
Teachers in Alberta can expect to have the following coverages through their employers and benefit providers:
- Life insurance
- Accidental death and dismemberment
- Extended disability benefits
- Dental care
- Extended health care
- Vision care
- Early retiree benefits
The Alberta School Employee Benefit Plan (ASEBP) covers most teachers in Alberta. A board of 10 trustees governs ASEBP. The Association and participating school boards each appoint five trustees.
Retiring?
Teachers covered under ASEBP, or those who don’t have ASEBP benefits but work for an eligible school board, who wish to retire early can choose among the following benefits providers:
