NOW THEREFORE THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH that in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
Subject to paragraph (b) which follows, for September 2018, the Division shall pay monthly, $116.50 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Dental plan and/or $124.00 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Extended Health plan, said $116.50, and $124.00 being the monthly rates for family coverage under each plan. Such payments shall be made to the Trust or to such party as the Trustees shall designate in writing.
Subject to paragraph (b) which follows, for September 2019, the Division shall pay monthly, $105.00 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Dental plan and/or $126.00 on behalf of each Employee in respect of the Extended Health plan, said $105.00, and $126.00 being the monthly rates for family coverage under each plan. Such payments shall be made to the Trust or to such party as the Trustees shall designate in writing.
