Benefits Update 2025
Carleton University is proud to provide a comprehensive benefits program for its employees.
An important part of managing this program is the annual renewal of contracts with our insurers. At this time we review how the plans have been used and negotiate the best rates possible for the coming year. We have completed our analysis and discussions with Canada Life for the 2025/2026 benefit year, which runs from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2026.
Premium rates for benefits will be adjusted as follows effective June 1, 2025
| Coverage | Rate Adjustment |
|---|---|
| Optional Life | No change |
| Long Term Disability (LTD) – Staff | Decrease of 2.5 % |
| Long Term Disability (LTD) – CUASA | Decrease of 1.2 %, with a partial subsidy of 10% |
| Health Care | Increase of 5.27% |
| Dental Care | Increase of 3.02% |
| Life Insurance | Decrease of 10% |
The actual amount that you and the university pay for your benefits coverage is available on your pay stub which is accessible through Carleton Central at http://central.carleton.ca.
