Legion at Iroquois Falls on Vimy Night Below will be found the fifth in the series of articles on the Porcupine Gold Camp by Sidney Norman, minâ€" ing editor of The Globe and Mail: Dome‘s Health and Security Plans The three leading mines of Porcuâ€" pine have all instituted social security, pension and sick benefit provisions for their employees under plans differing somewhat, but each striving to the same end of safety and future care, The plan adcopted by Dome Mines is typical and illustrative of the efforts made to provide the men with every possible safeguard and comfort. The company started its sick pay plan in 1922. It is entirely voluntary, all costs being borne by the company. An emâ€" ployee who is absent, due to sickness or legitimate accident not covered by workmen‘s compensation, for three or four days, is given pay equivalent to half his regular wages. He must reâ€" port to the designated doctors within twentyâ€"four ‘hours after being taken ill and his sickness must be certified to the company officials by the docâ€" tors. The management may refuse to pay upon such certificates is not satisâ€" fied, but the provision is very rarely invoked. Incidentally, doctors are alâ€" ways on hand when the shifts go on and medicines are distributed to emâ€" ployees and families. The company employs and pays a public health nurse, who covers that end of Tisdale Township. She also works for and reâ€" ports to the medical health officer and in particular investigates every case of tuberculosis. ; Group Life Insurance Dome started it s life insurance plan back in 1925. Group insurance is enâ€" tirely voluntary, and here again cost is borne by the company. At the end of three months‘ service cach new emâ€" ployee becomes automatically insured, starting at $500 and at the end of four years‘ service reaching the maximum fof $1,1750. All employess are covered. In case of total disability before the age of 60, an employee is entitled to the full amount of his policy. Pull medical care is provided for employees, including cost of all operations and hospitalization for six months. At the signed request of the employee, the service is covered by a deduction of $1.50 per month from wages and passâ€" ed on to the medical staff. As to reâ€" creation, the company keeps up a footâ€" ball field, a fourâ€"ice skating rink, a recreation hall, a meeting room for the Boy Scouts and Girl Guides and tennis courts, all managed entirely by the different employee organizations. The company also provides about 120 houses for its employees. With a few exceptions, all are supplied with the usual modern services and are rented at well below 50 per cent of rental cost of similar houses in South Porcuâ€" es I pinge. Turkey Dinner Enjoyed b; 86 Veterans. Dome‘s Health and Secuuty5 Plans. Group Life Insurâ€" ance. | Liberal Pension Scheme Last year Dome introduced a penâ€" sion scheme. There is no obligation to any employee to join, but since its inception on Aug. 1, over 90 per cent of the employees have signed up. The company assumes all the cost of penâ€" CHEWING TOBACCO , THE POAACUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMNS, ONTARIO first $1,600 of a man‘s earmngs. Emâ€" ployees pay 2 per cent of earnings up to $1,600 each year and earn a pension of 1‘ per cent of earnings for each year of pension life. Normal retireâ€" ment age is 65 years, but a man may retire at 60, or may be permitted to work until he is 70. If an employee becomes totally disabled from causes not covered by workmen‘s compenâ€" sation, after ten years‘ service, he is entitled, after three years, to the full amount Oof his pension. The threeâ€" year period may be covered by payâ€" ment of his disability under the group insurance plan. Any employee quitâ€" ting or discharged receives his contriâ€" butions back without interest, The family of an employee who dies reâ€" ceives his contributions back with 3 per cent interest. Should an employee on pension die before he has received back his contributions with 3 per cent interest, his family is entitled to the difference between what he got and what he paid, interest included. A pension trust has been set up, directed by the president, general manager and three directors of the company. In addition, Dome Mines guarantees payâ€" ments of all pensions. The trust canâ€" not be dissolved until the rights of employees under the plan have been safeguarded. Seven employees are now on pension and more are due for pensioning.
