Health and Wellness

As the employer, we pay the premiums for health insurance (for active and retired employees), life insurance, and dental and vision care. Long-term disability insurance is provided. (DCC and the employee share the premiums.). Other benefits—employee-paid—include accidental death and dismemberment insurance, and life insurance coverage for dependants and additional optional life coverage beyond the standard amount for employees.

DCC also encourages employees to incorporate physical activity into their daily routine by contributing up to $250 annually toward a wellness-related program, such as a gym membership.

Work Schedule

As a DCC employee, you may choose to flex your work schedule (within the standard number of hours and core business period). Through DCC’s compressed work week program, you may take a long weekend every third week by working just 32 extra minutes a day. Beyond this, we encourage all employees to take full advantage of their vacation leave each year. We also provide special leave during regular working hours to attend medical appointments or care for an ill family member.

Pension

DCC employees participate in the Federal Public Service Pension Plan. Benefits are payable on retirement, termination of service, disability and death. Public service employees joining DCC may bring their accumulated pension contributions with them.

Training and development

We recognize the value of training and maintaining a skilled workforce. We encourage employees to pursue professional and career development, and provide support for employees pursuing their education. In certain cases, we pay dues to join technical, professional or industry organizations, and to help you become certified.

Other Benefits

We offer numerous other company benefits: employee and organization assistance programs, help coping with sudden illness and returning to work, a computer loan program, social events and a bilingualism bonus.
