WHAT WE DO
- Premium group benefits: Comprehensive group benefit plans that provide coverage for both field and office employees. Our plans are competitively priced and designed specifically for the construction industry with our Hour Bank Plan that allows field employees to build their hour bank to provide coverage during times of layoff.
- Additional coverage options for employers and employees: Need more coverage? We also provide top-ups to the standard disability coverage. Employees also have the chance to purchase life, accidental death and dismemberment and critical illness insurance at group rates.
- Support for apprentices: We believe that your apprentices are the backbone of your business. Our Education Bursary program refunds tuition for apprenticeship training to encourage field employees to complete their career path in reaching journeyperson status.
- Industry training programs: Success as a contractor is about much more than knowing how to construct. We provide construction-focussed courses for owners, project managers, foreman and office administrators that support a career path in the industry.
ADVOCACY
MERIT Saskatchewan is the only open-shop (non-union) construction association in Saskatchewan. We work to ensure a fair and level playing field for all contractors in the province. As a founding member of Merit Canada, our commitment to open shop principals is carried to a national level.
WELLNESS
Mental health is an issue that all contractors are dealing with. MERIT’s WORK WELL initiative recognizes the importance of mental wellbeing as a key component to worker safety and overall productivity. Our goal is to integrate a WORK WELL culture into the fabric of the construction industry. Learn more about the workplace wellness revolution!
WAGE RATE SURVEY
Each year MERIT surveys members to gather data related to wages and compensation for various roles from apprentices to general managers. This data is collected, analyzed and prepared for distribution to MERIT members to help ensure they are offering competitive compensation to their employees.
