J&D Electric Ltd has been a member since the program was introduced to the province in 2000. It is as vital now as it was then to provide economical and top tier benefits to our current staff, and as a recruitment incentive for future team members. Merit NB has always been there to provide local support to the program, assist in training reimbursement and facilitate training programs for their membership. Merit NB’s participation with multiple trade associations and construction industry boards is crucial to represent the open shop construction industry and to keep its membership informed of industry changes.

Thanks for reaching out. We made a lot of decisions in the past year with our new business - some good ones and some bad ones. Joining Merit was definitely one of the better decisions we made. Benefits are good, priced competitively, very easy to manage and an effective tool for luring and keeping top talent. Hour bank really is a great solution for offering benefits in the construction industry.

I am writing this letter to recommend Merit Contractors Association New Brunswick as a Group Benefit and Training Provider. Merit NB is very respected by our company as it works diligently to provide expert service, with a high level of integrity. In 2009, Merit NB played a pivotal part in helping FundyPros implement its first ever Companywide Group Benefit Plan. From the get-go, they provided FundyPros’ Management and Field Staff with all the knowledge necessary about Benefits, allowing FundyPros to make the best decision for our company’s and employees’ needs. Merit NB ensures that it continually benchmark our plan, confirming that we’re getting the best bang of our buck. The plan has a great product offering, appealing to all level of employees – from field to management. I often get the comment from my field employees that they love the plans coverage and flexibility. The plan is developed for Contractors that may suffer periods of contractions and lay-offs in that it allows employees the ability to remain covered even when they’re laid-off. I would highly recommend Merit NB to any company that is in the market for a flexible and cost effective benefit plan for their employees. We are truly satisfied with Merit NB’s work.
Sincerely,
