HEALTH BENEFITS
Health Insurance. We offer three different health insurance
plans to our Associates: the Premium Plan, the Standard Plan and
the Economy Plan. Associates may also pick up the cost of health
insurance for themselves and their spouse, themselves and their
child(ren) or family coverage, all at reduced premiums.
Dental Insurance. All full-time and part-time Associates
are eligible for dental insurance benefits. Coverage begins the
first day of the month following 30 days of employment.
INSURANCE
Life Insurance. We pay the entire cost of basic group
life insurance coverage for all full-time Associates.
Short-Term Illness. We provide this benefit specifically
to guarantee that your salary will continue in the event of short-term
illness. Short-term illness days are accumulated from your first
day of employment at a rate equal to 12 days annually, to a maximum
of 72 days (prorated accumulation is based on hours assigned). Short-term
illness benefits are paid on the fourth day of non-work related
injury or illness.
Additional Insurance. You may pay for additional cancer,
ICU or accident insurance as well as supplemental Associate and
dependent life insurance.
FINANCIAL
Section 125 Pre-tax Plan. All health care insurance premiums
that you participate in are paid with pre-tax dollars. This reduces
your taxable income and the premiums are tax-free. You may also
designate money on a pre-tax basis to cover medical expenses not
covered under the plan or a separate account for payment of child
care expenses.
Matching Retirement Savings Plan. We encourage our Associates
to plan for their financial security by contributing to a Retirement
Savings Plan. Associates may begin contributing to a plan immediately
upon employment and will be 100 percent vested after three years
of service.
PAID TIME OFF
Holidays, Vacation Days & Personal Days. We are committed
to providing a flexible system for time off. You will begin accruing
paid time off as soon as you receive your first paycheck, and you
may take time off with pay as soon as it is accrued. Paid time
off
consists of vacation days, holidays and personal days.
Bereavement Pay. Full-time and part-time Associates who
have completed three months of employment may take off up to three
days in the event of the death of an immediate family member, parents-in-law
and grandparents.
ASSOCIATE SERVICES
Education/Development. We are dedicated to hiring the best
Associates and keeping you trained and updated in your field. We
provide a number of in-service programs and continuing education
opportunities to our Associates. We also provide time off with pay
for you to attend approved conferences, seminars, etc.
Associate Health Service. After you accept employment with
us, we provide a free drug screen and schedule you for an appointment
with our Associate Health Nurse, who will provide your TB screen
and review your vaccinations. Free vaccinations for hepatitis, tetanus,
flu, chicken pox and rubella and rubeola are available to clinical
and other Associates who are at risk. Free annual lab testing (basic
metabolic panel, lipid profile and complete blood count tests) are
also available for Associates.
Discount Services. We routinely offer our Associates discounts
on entertainment, etc.
Direct Deposit. Your paycheck will be automatically deposited
in the bank of your choice.
