Health Insurance

  • Effective Date

Once your application for insurance has been accepted, coverage will become effective for eligible employees on the first day of the month following two calendar months of employment with the company. (For example, with a hire date of February 14, coverage becomes effective May 1.)

  • Brief Description of Coverage

The Plan provides comprehensive hospital and major medical insurance coverage. Participants can choose to go to PPO or non-PPO providers of medical services. When using a PPO provider, participants will pay a lower percentage of the co-insurance, a lower deductible, and a lower annual maximum co-insurance amount.

  • Prescription Drug Benefits

The company provides a prescription drug card plan as part of the health benefit program.

  • Coverage Election Period

Employees have up to 31 days from their employment date in which to elect health coverage. Once made, the election is generally fixed until the next open enrollment period as designated by the company. However, if undergoing a family status change (as defined in the Plan document), the employee may make a mid-year change in coverage (for example, the employee may change coverage from individual to family or from family to individual, add or delete dependents or revoke coverage), provided this is done within 31 days from the date of the change in family status. It is the employee's responsibility to contact the company's Benefits Representative to determine if a family status change qualifies under the Plan document and IRS regulations and to make a change in coverage.

Participants have nationwide access to numerous vision care providers. It is to the employee's advantage to use a designated provider of services to receive maximum benefits.

  • Coverage Election Period

The employee is automatically provided the annual examination benefit and does not need to sign an application form. However, employees desiring additional coverage for themselves or dependents, as described in the Plan Description, have up to 31 days from their employment date in which to elect additional vision coverage. Once made, the election is generally fixed until the next open enrollment period as designated by the company.

Flexible Benefits

The employee's contribution for health, vision and dental coverage will be deducted from the employee's paycheck on a pre-tax basis. This pre-tax advantage is made possible by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code.

Profit Sharing

The Profit Sharing Plan has two major components: Profit Sharing and a 401(k) Plan.

Profit Sharing

This component consists of a discretionary annual contribution made by the company. The Plan Administrator uses the following two-part formula to determine the company contribution to be placed into each employee's account:

  • Part I is based on the company's profitability.
  • Part II is based on the employee's years of service (10 points for each full year of service) and annual compensation (two (2) points for each $200 of compensation rounded to the nearest $200.)

The company contribution is a completely discretionary contribution and will vary from year to year.

  • Profit Sharing Effective Date

Employees become eligible to participate in the Profit Sharing Plan on April 1 or October 1 after completing one year of service with the company.  Vesting begins after 3 years of service.

  • 401(k) Plan

This component allows the employee to set aside pre-tax dollars, via payroll reduction, to a retirement account. The company provides a partial match to employees who defer a portion of their salary into this plan.

  • Roth 401(k) Plan

This component allows the employee to set aside post-tax dollars, via payroll reduction, to a retirement account.  The company provides a partial match to employees who defer a portion of their salary into this plan.

  • 401(k) Effective Date

Employees are eligible to join the 401(k) plan and begin participating on the first quarter (October, January, April, July) following their date of hire.
