Professional Support For Employees

Business Assistance Service 

The Business Assistance Service (BAS) provided by the Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan is a free service built into each benefit program. 

This confidential service provides access to professional accounting, counselling, legal and human resource experts who understand the challenges that small business owners face

Employee Assistance Program 

The Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides additional benefits beyond the standard Business Assistance Service at a cost of $4.50/employee. If your company chooses this program, everyone will have to take the coverage. The additional benefits are listed below. 

If you are having trouble resolving a work, life or health program, talking with a professional could give you the support you need. The Business Assistance Plan allows your employer to refer you to a counselor who can assist you with: 

  • Work-related problems 
  • Dependency problems 
  • Marital and family problems 
  • Personal problems 

To access the Business Assistance Program please call 1-877-922-9646

If you would rather refer yourself to a counselor, you can add the Employee Assistance Program to your benefits package. Follow these steps once the package is added to your benefits: 

  • Call 1-877-412-7483
  • Be sure to have your firm and certificate number ready 
  • A trained specialist will set you up with an in-person or over-the-phone counselling session. 

Representatives are available 24/7, you do not need your employer's permission and they will not be advised of your call.
