BENEFITS

Consumer-Driven Health Care Plan 

After six months of employment you are eligible for medical and pharmacy benefits under our new Consumer-Driven Health Care Plan (CDHC).  A Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is established in the name of each associate enrolled in the plan.  Medical and pharmacy costs are paid out of this account up to a specified limit, without copayments or out-of-pocket charges.  Money in the HRA that is not spent is rolled over to the following year.  If the limit in the HRA is reached then you pay your Share, which is like a deductible amount in most medical plans.  After that there is a 70/30 plan, which means the company pays 70% of allowable charges and the associate pays 30%.  There are no copayments with this 70/30 portion of the plan either.

 

Preventive Health Care Services are paid at 100% with no deductions from the HRA.  The plan includes help with life-style changes such as smoking cessation and weight management.  Other details of the plan include on-line tools and telephone support services.  There is also a Personal Health Advisor, one-on-one assistance from a registered nurse to help our associates manage certain health conditions.

 

Vision Plan

Enrollment in the CDHC entitles you to participate in our vision plan at no additional cost to you.  Any family member enrolled in the health plan also has the vision coverage.

 

Dental Insurance

After you have been employed for 6 months you are eligible for Dental Insurance.  You may elect to enroll in the dental plan but not the health plan.  You may mix and match your plans (medical only, dental only, or both).

 

You may receive two cleanings at no charge per year.

 

Short-Term Disability

Provides 60% of your average weekly wage in the event of an accident or illness that is not work related.  Your cost is based on your rate of pay.  You may draw benefits for a maximum of 26 weeks after a short elimination period.  You will automatically be enrolled after 90 days unless you choose to waive coverage.

 

Long-Term Disability

Provides 50% of your base salary for a maximum of five (5) years.  Benefits are designed to extend beyond your short-term disability coverage, beginning after a 26 week period.  Benefits are slightly different for salaried associates.  Please contact your local administrative assistant for details.

 

Cancer Coverage

The plan pays stated benefits directly to you to offset medical expenses and loss of income.  Single and family coverage is at the expense of the associate.  You are eligible if you are a full time associate and have been employed for six months and meet medical eligibility requirements.

 

Life Insurance

All associates that are hired and meet their eligibility period will automatically receive Basic Life Insurance.  You may also elect additional Supplemental Life and AD&D coverage based upon your age.  Coverage is available for spouses and children also.

RETIREMENT PLANS

401(k) Retirement Plan

You may save for your retirement and lower your current income taxes with tax-deferred contributions.  You can contribute up to 15% of your gross pay with convenient payroll deductions.  Bonitz will contribute an amount equal to 20% of the first 5% of your contributions.  Our 401(k) plan is managed by one of the leading providers who offers a wide range of funds for you to choose from.  You are eligible to participate once you have worked for Bonitz for one year with at least 1000 hours worked during that year.  You may access your account by phone or Internet 24 hours a day.
