Non-wage benefits and type of job

Question
We have a group of researchers looking for data about who has access to non-wage benefits (e.g., prescription medication, vision care, dental, pensions) at work; in addition, they would like to crosstabulate this with type of job (i.e. permanent or temporary, full-time or part-time).

Only the CCHS has full-time or part-time and the benefits, but I can't find the perm/temp available with benefits anywhere.

Answer
CCHS only has information on full-time and part-time status (based on hours worked per week).

We also inquired with LSD -
The Labour Statistics Division does have data pertaining to permanent/temp employees.
We do not however have any relating to benefits.
