Why Burlington Businesses Choose AEC Benefits
AEC Benefits is headquartered in Burlington and builds group benefits plans for local employers of about 5 to 100 people: manufacturers and shops, offices, service businesses and construction crews. Construction and the trades are where our experience runs deepest.
- Our office is at 769 Old York Rd in Aldershot, at the west end of Burlington, so this is our home market.
- Burlington's Employment Area is about 1,800 hectares, 1,982 businesses and 42,500 jobs, and the City says over half of all jobs in Burlington sit inside it. The City also notes these areas sit along major highways and transportation corridors, which is where the yards and shops are rather than the waterfront.
- Halton Region's 2025 employment survey identified 490 construction businesses and 8,500 construction jobs across Burlington, Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills. The survey only counts businesses with a physical location and public signage, so contractors working out of unsigned yards are under-counted.
- Hospital care here runs through Joseph Brant on Lakeshore Road. OHIP covers the admission. For most working-age staff it is the drugs on discharge, the dental work, the physio afterwards and the lost income that a plan is actually for.

Situations Burlington employers bring to us
These are composites of situations that come up often, not individual client stories. The plan answer is usually more about structure than about which insurer.
A team where a few people earn far more
A company of ten to twenty people, office or plant, where two or three senior people earn well above everyone else.
Disability design matters most here. A plan built around the average salary can leave the senior people badly under-insured, and a separate class for them usually fixes it without raising the cost for everyone.
A mixed office and field team
Technicians or crews in the field and admin staff in the office, on one payroll, using coverage very differently.
Class-based design and cleaner budgeting usually outperform a single generic plan spread across every role.
A Burlington business adding benefits for the first time
A company moving from wage-only pay to a proper benefits package wants the plan to feel serious without creating renewal pain a year later.
That is where custom setup, realistic pricing and clear employee communication make the biggest difference.
Questions Burlington employers ask about group benefits
These are the practical questions we hear most often from Burlington business owners comparing benefits options, from offices and shops to construction crews.
How much do group benefits cost in Burlington?+
Burlington employers usually land between $148 and $279 per employee per month for single coverage and between $300 and $600 for family coverage. The spread is mostly age mix, family status and plan design rather than postal code — a young field crew and an office team of the same size price differently on the same street.
Can a small Burlington business afford group benefits?+
Yes, if it is built properly. Most of the 1,982 businesses in Burlington's Employment Area are not large, and a smaller employer usually does better with a custom structure that protects the essentials than with a richer plan copied from a bigger company.
Do Burlington employers need disability coverage in a group plan?+
Usually yes. For most employees, a long illness or injury off the job is the biggest financial risk they carry, and WSIB does not cover it. For physical work it matters even more, which is why disability is one of the first conversations we have with Burlington construction and industrial employers.
What is the difference between WSIB and group benefits for Burlington employers?+
WSIB is strong when something happens on the job. It does not follow a worker on the drive home, on the drive in, or Saturday afternoon cutting the grass. Group benefits cover that off-the-job gap, plus drugs, dental, paramedicals, disability, life, travel, and employee support.
Who in Burlington should not call AEC Benefits?+
One-, two-, and three-person shops. They are better served by a Chambers-style pool, and we will say so rather than take the plan. Anyone from about five to 100 employees can call for a custom plan, and the best fit is five to fifty. The reason is the job, not the town.
Can AEC Benefits help companies in Burlington if the team also works across Ontario?+
Yes. AEC Benefits works virtually across Ontario, so employers in Burlington can build a local relationship while still getting province-wide support for growing teams and multiple job sites.
