Add Comment Question: Are extended 3rd party health care benefits mandatory in BC? Can your employer force you to enroll in & pay for extended Healthcare benefits when not all employers provide benefit options & if they do there are multiple providers. (Like Sunlife) Healthcare is free in BC. Answer: It would depend on the terms of your employment agreement. If you agreed in your employment agreement that you would enroll in the company's healthcare benefits plan, they can force you to comply with this term of employment.
