Understanding Your Benefits: Making the Most of What’s Available to You

Employee benefits are more than just a line item on your paycheck... they’re a vital part of your overall compensation and well-being. From protecting your health and financial future to supporting work-life balance, benefits are designed to help you feel secure, supported, and valued both at work and at home. Yet many employees don’t always take full advantage of what’s available to them. Understanding your benefits is the first step toward making the most of them.


Why Benefits Matter


A strong benefits package supports you through every stage of life. Whether you’re focused on staying healthy, planning for retirement, caring for your family, or simply finding balance in your daily routine, the right benefits can make a meaningful difference. When used effectively, they can help reduce stress, save money, and give you peace of mind, allowing you to focus on what matters most.


Health & Insurance Coverage You Can Rely On


Your health is a top priority, and our benefits reflect that. We offer comprehensive health, vision, and dental insurance coverage for employees, spouses, and dependents. These plans include preventive care, prescriptions, and access to specialty services, helping you stay proactive about your health rather than reactive.


In addition, company-provided life insurance and short- and long-term disability coverage are in place to protect you and your loved ones in the event of illness, injury, or unexpected life events. These benefits offer financial security during challenging times and ensure that you’re supported when you need it most.


For those looking for additional protection, we also provide access to supplemental insurance plans. These optional offerings include accident, hospital, cancer, critical illness (high and low options), whole life insurance, and even legal assistance, giving you the flexibility to tailor coverage to your individual needs.


And because pets are family too, discounted pet insurance plans are available through ASPCA, helping you manage veterinary costs and care for your furry companions.


Financial Security & Planning for the Future


Financial wellness is a key part of overall well-being. Our 401(k) Retirement Plan helps you plan for the future with confidence, including a company match of up to 3.5% of your contributions. This is essentially free money toward your retirement and a powerful way to build long-term savings.


To further support your financial goals, we offer the FinFit Financial Wellness Program. This program provides tools and resources to help you manage money, reduce debt, plan for major expenses, and strengthen your overall financial health.


We also believe in recognizing hard work and dedication. Our Award and Bonus Program celebrates exceptional performance, teamwork, and meaningful contributions, ensuring that your efforts don’t go unnoticed.


Work-Life Balance & Time Off


Achieving balance between work and personal life is essential. That’s why we offer benefits designed to give you flexibility and time to recharge. Unlimited Personal Leave is available for salaried exempt employees, allowing you to take the time you need without the stress of tracking every hour.


We also support those who serve. Members of the Armed Forces are eligible for 14 days of paid military leave each year. Additionally, FMLA leave provides job-protected time off for qualifying medical and family care needs, offering peace of mind during important life moments.


Perks, Recognition & Everyday Savings


Beyond traditional benefits, we offer programs that enhance your day-to-day life. The Employee Vacation Program provides exclusive travel deals and planning services through Travelink, helping you make the most of your time away.


Our Employee Discount Program offers savings on theater tickets, theme parks, and more, making entertainment and experiences more affordable. And when life presents challenges, the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is there with free legal consultations, childcare assistance, and additional support resources for you and your family.


Take the Next Step


Your benefits are a powerful part of your total compensation, designed to support your health, financial security, and overall well-being. Taking the time to understand and use them can have a lasting positive impact on your life.
