The U.S. division of Sun Life Financial’s employee benefits group has upgraded its voluntary dental plan.
It loosened requirements for participation in the plan by accepting business with any level of employee contribution, at least 10 enrolled employees and employee participation rate of at least 35%.
It also changed its annual enrollment period to give employees and dependents a chance to elect the plan after previously declining coverage, without paying penalties that normally would apply when an employee joins after the new-hire period.
