The overall objective of HospiceCare’s benefit program is to ensure that we are able to attract, retain and motivate excellent employees to achieve our mission, vision and values. Staff who are budgeted for 20 or more hours per week (0.5 FTE) have the opportunity to elect any or all of the following employee benefits. If elected, the majority of benefits will begin the first of the month following 30 days of employment. • Health insurance. HospiceCare offers health plans in the Madison and Janesville areas. Cost-sharing of health insurance depends on the full-time equivalent (FTE) of the position. • Dental insurance. Fifty percent of the premium is paid by HospiceCare with coverage through a major carrier with great access to dentists nationwide. • Vision insurance. The employee funds this benefit that helps cover the cost of routine eye exams, glasses and lenses and contact lenses. • Life insurance. HospiceCare pays fully for basic life insurance equivalent to twice a staff person’s salary. In addition, employees may purchase voluntary group life insurance for themselves and their families at their own expense. • Short- and long-term disability insurance. Paid for by HospiceCare, this benefit affords financial protection for medical illnesses that affect an employee’s ability to work. • Retirement plan. All employees, regardless of FTE status, are eligible to defer a percentage of their income on a pre-tax basis to the 403(b) retirement plan immediately upon employment or anytime thereafter. HospiceCare contributes to the plan after the standard waiting period regardless of personal deferral. The contribution percentage is announced annually and the contribution is based on annual wages. • Flexible spending accounts. HospiceCare offers healthcare and dependent-care reimbursement accounts for tax-free reimbursement of eligible expenses. • Tuition reimbursement. Regular FTE staff may apply for partial tuition reimbursement for courses taken at an accredited university. No waiting period is required before applying for this benefit. • Time off benefits. HospiceCare offers a single paid time off plan for all full time and part time employees. Employees earn paid time off based on their anniversary date and their FTE status. All paid time off is earned each pay period and is available to use for vacations, personal time, sick time and holidays.
