Part-4 Benefits

General

The purpose of this section is to detail the fringe benefits provided by being an employee
of Citizens’ High School. Details regarding what benefit plan you are eligible for are is
accessible by talking to your immediate supervisor. Benefit plans governed by the federal
Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) may be further described in formal
summary plan descriptions or other legal documents available for your review in the
Human Resources Department. Full time employees are eligible for varying insurance
plans that are open for enrollment on a specific eligibility date, open enrollment, or
special enrollment (detailed below).

Medical Insurance

Medical insurance is available to all full-time employees with their choice of plan and
type of coverage. Benefit booklets contain the information on the varying plans, but they
do not constitute as a legal document. The programs will be administered through C&A
Benefits Group. Employees may have to contribute for medical insurance. Contributions
will be deducted from your salary based on your benefit selections. For more details,
please refer to your Summary Plan Description. In the case of a discrepancy the
Summary Plan Description will govern. The plans are subject to change at administrative
discretion, which will affect your contribution.

Employee Contributions

You are responsible for a portion of the premium for your benefits. We will make a
contribution towards the premiums of your benefit plan, but your contributory cost will
be deducted from your paycheck every month. Cost of benefits plans may very year to
year.

New Applicants

You are eligible for benefits on the 1st day of the month, following your 30-day grace
period. If you decide to forgo participating in the benefit plans for whatever reason, you
will be allowed to apply for enrollment into the plans during Open Enrollment, or if you
have a significant life changing event that requires benefit changes (See Special
Enrollment).
