Summary of Employee Benefits

 Eligibility and Waiting Period 

Full-time and part-time employees are eligible for benefits.  Part-time employees receive benefits on a pro-rated basis.  The definition of a part-time employee is someone who works more than 39 hours but less than 72 hours in a two week pay period. 

There is a 90-day waiting period for all benefits except the 403(b) savings plan.  Employees can enroll in the 403(b) plan upon date of hire.  Management personnel have a 30-day waiting period for health, dental, vision and life insurance plans only.

 Medical, Dental, Prescription and Vision  

Health insurance coverage is through Principal Financial (PPO).  The premium to employees on a bi-weekly basis is broken down between employee only, employee and child(ren), employee and spouse and employee and family.  Part-time employees pay a slightly higher premium than full-time employees.
