Prefer Higher Wages Over Benefits, ask about Pay in Lieu options?

What are Colonial's Pay in Lieu (PIL) options?

$20.00 base rate

$2.20/hr pay in lieu of health, dental and vision coverages - starts when benefit-eligible*

$1.82/hr pay in lieu of certain paid time off - starts when benefit-eligible**

$24.02/hr full PIL rate instead of benefits.

* Health insurance is offered starting the first of the month following 30 days of employment. When elected, the $2.20/hr pay in lieu of health benefit option starts with the first pay date of that same month.

** Paid personal days, vacation days and an extra day's holiday pay on 10 named holidays are offered after employees complete their probationary period (standard 90 days). Employees working for staffing agencies do not receive these benefits and tend to prefer a higher rate of pay when working.

Option 2 - PREFER A FULL BENEFITS PACKAGE INSTEAD?

Who is eligible for benefits?

· Part-Time employees working 20 or more hours per week (employee coverage, including prescriptions)

· Full-Time employees working 30 or more hours per week (employee plus dependent coverage, including prescriptions)

What does health insurance cost employees?

· Nothing - NO employee paid premiums! NO payroll deductions!

What is the deductible for in-network health insurance?

· By adding a health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) on top of your medical health coverage ($1,615 for employee only coverage and $3,230 for employee plus any dependent coverage), Colonial's medical and prescription drug plan feels and acts quite generously:

· For employee only coverage in the CIGNA network, the practical deductible is $900. After this deductible, there are copays/coinsurance of about 15% until a $5,785 maximum out of pocket is met, which is when all in-network expenses under the plan are fully picked up by the plan.

· For employee plus any dependent(s) coverage in the CIGNA network, the practical deductible is $1,800. After this deductible, there are copays/coinsurance of about 15% until an $11,570 maximum out of pocket is met, which is when all in-network expenses under the plan are fully picked up by the plan.

How do employees use the HRA?

After your deductible is met, simply use the HRA debit card to pay for health expenses just like you would any other purchase, OR, if you happen to pay with another way, request reimbursement to your bank account quickly and easily online or thru an app.

What other insurance benefits are offered premium-free? (NO payroll deductions!)

· Dental coverage thru DeltaDental ($50/$150 deductible, 100% preventative, 80% basic, 50% major, annual maximum benefit per person $1,000)

· Vision coverage thru DeltaVision/VSP Vision Care ($10 copay, annual exams, frames and lenses, and contacts)

· Life and AD&D insurance thru Equitable ($25,000)

· Short-term disability insurance thru Equitable (66.67% up to $300 per week for 24 weeks after 2-week elimination period)

What 401K benefits are offered?

Colonial contributes a Safe Harbor match. Employees that elect to and contribute up to 5% of gross earning will receive an employer match of 4%. Additionally, Colonial offers a discretionary benefit in December for all eligible employees. Last year the facility contributed 9.5% of each employee’s gross earnings to a 401K benefit plan.t. The defined benefit pension tends to approximate the social security earnings at full retirement age. Vesting schedules do apply.
