this is more a contract question. I live on the AB side of the AB/BC border but work in BC. In my contract was offered a full enhanced benefits package. it s a close enough drive and I have homes in both provinces, plus I made sure I asked a variety of times if it was a problem I would retain my residency. Now it has come up they will only offer the package if I change my residence to BC, which I cannot do, it affects other family members and it not hard going back and forth. Since they made the offer and I asked this, I feel they owe something. they kind of said too bad, but it adds a value of thousands of dollars to the position. I said I understand that it might not work for the provider but asked they do something in Lieu of such as give me what they would have paid to pay my own package or something of a similar value. I don't feel nothing is fair at all. is this not a breach of contract to not accommodate in some way? I am not particular in how they do it, it is more they will save money and are not willing to work with anything at this point. before I go head to head with the I would like to know where I stand
