What’s more, with SLB Flex you are in control. You choose the coverage that best meets your needs, and you can change your coverage as your needs change. There is no waiting period to participate in SLB Flex. Eligible employees can get started by reviewing the following check list.

  3. You will receive your SLB Flex enrollment invitation via SLB email 1 – 2 weeks after you are on Canada payroll and then you can enroll. Please note that you must complete your enrollment within 30 days of receiving your enrollment invitation. SLB Flex benefits coverage will be back dated to your eligibility date so there will be no gap in coverage. Benefits can be updated during Annual Enrollment in the fall or during the year if you experience a life event.
  4. Sun Life is our health and wellness benefits provider. 1-2 weeks after you have completed your benefits enrollment, your selections will be active in the Sun Life system and you may register on Sun Life's Plan Members website at www.mysunlife.ca. Once logged in, you can submit claims online, view your claims history, print a drug/travel card and do a search on eligible drugs, travel coverage, etc. You can also download the mySunLife mobile app.
  5. Eligble employees are automatically enrolled in the SLB Canada Retirement and Savings Plan. SLB contributes an automatic 6% of your earnings into the Defined Contribution Pension Plan (DCPP). Employees are auto enrolled at a 4% employee contribution to receive the maximum 4% employer match. You can update your contribution percentage and the products you are enrolled in at anytime.

Canada has a decentralized, universal, publicly funded health system called Canadian Medicare. Health care is funded and administered primarily by the country's 13 provinces and territories. Canadians do not pay for most health care services.

If you are not from Canada, and do not have provincial health care coverage, you can apply for the provincial health care first. The processing and wait times for your provincial health coverage to come into effect vary by province and you must reside in Canada to be eligible. Please visit Service Canada to obtain instructions on how to apply for a provincial health card.

You must be a member of the provincial health care plan in order to access SLB’s group health plan. Provincial health care services include insured primary health care, such as the services of physicians and other health professionals and care in hospitals. The SLB Canada group benefit program works in conjunction with the government sponsored health care plan and provides coverage above and beyond that, such as prescriptions, dental, paramedical, emergency travel medical and so on.

For Foreign employees on short-term assignment in Canada without permanent resident status in Canada and who are ineligible under both a Canadian federal and/or provincial health and hospitalization insurance plan, please check with the Canada Benefits Team on alternative options available.
