Now that you have completed the benefits enrolment process, there are still a few more steps to get the most out of your benefits.
If you need information on the benefits enrolment process, please see Enrolling in Benefits.
Check that your details are correct
The benefits summary in Workday is the fastest way to check that your details are correct. The benefits summary will show you exactly which benefits you are currently enrolled in, as well as your dependent(s) and beneficiary information.
- To find the Benefits Summary, see View My Benefits in the Workday Knowledge Base for help.
- If you need to make any changes to your benefits enrolment, dependent(s) or beneficiaries, see the Benefits & Pension Change articles in the Workday Knowledge Base.
Finalizing optional life insurance – complete a health statement
During the benefits enrolment process, you may have had the opportunity to submit an application for Employee Optional Life and/or Spouse Optional Life. If you applied for optional life insurance, you will soon receive a Workday notification from your Benefits Partner in Payroll with the Health Statement and next steps – your enrollment will remain pending until approved by Sun Life. Please complete this task, and submit your Health Statement to Sun Life to ensure your coverage is in place as soon as possible.
Make a note of your Extended Health and Dental numbers
You’ll need these numbers when completing claim forms. Also, let your dental office know so they can submit claims on your behalf.
- Sun Life Group/Contract Number: 025205
- Member/Certificate ID: your 7-digit UBC employee ID
For complete details about your plan, please refer to the extended health and dental booklet for your employee group.
Set up your access to the Sun Life member website
After you have completed the enrolment process through Workday, you will need to set up an account on the Sun Life member website.
Go to mysunlife.ca once Sun Life receives your enrolment and their system is updated with your enrolment information — this can take up to 5-7 days. Use the "Register" button on the mySunlife.ca website and follow the steps to set up your account. Sun Life administers your Extended Health and Dental plans, by setting up access to your account you can now sign up for direct deposit, submit many claims, and view details about your benefits.
For more detailed steps, please see this Sun Life member portal enrolment guide.
