Benefits Newsletter
As an employee of Woodhaven, the following benefits are offered to you depending on the number of hours you are scheduled. An employee scheduled 30 to 40 hours per week is considered a full-time employee. If you are scheduled for under 30 hours per week, you are considered a part-time employee.
Health Insurance
All full-time employees are eligible for Group Health Insurance (this includes dental, vision, health and prescription card) at a discounted cost. Family members may be added at an additional cost to the employee. Unum Supplemental Insurance is also available to all full-time employees. Please refer to the benefit folder you received during orientation and enroll through Paylocity.
Exempt status employees who elect insurance benefits: coverage will be effective on the first day of the month following your hire date. Although you have 30 days from your hire date to make your elections, please note that premiums are deducted the month prior to coverage effective date and therefore you may be subject to double premiums being deducted during your first and/or second month of coverage.
Non-Exempt status employees must enroll or decline insurance benefits during their first 30 days of employment: Coverage will be effective on the first day of the month following your 60th day. Premiums are deducted the month prior to coverage month.
Employee Assistance Program
As a benefit, Woodhaven and Boone Hospital Center have joined together to offer Woodhaven’s employees and their family members an Employee Assistance Program. This is a confidential assessment, short-term counseling and referral service that provides direction to troubled employees and their families. You may go to the Office of Human Resources for clarification or details.
Retirement Options
Pension Plan membership is offered to all full-time employees. Upon joining this plan, you begin a deduction of a sum equal to 3% of your annual salary on a bi-weekly basis and Woodhaven will contribute 11% of your annual salary.
Exempt status employees are eligible to enroll in the Pension Plan or other programs through the Pension Fund after completion of 90 days of full-time employment.
Non-Exempt status employees are eligible to enroll in the Pension Plan or other programs through the Pension Fund after completing 6 months of full-time employment.
There are annuity and savings programs also available to full-time employees. The Tax Deferred Additional Benefits annuity is a pension program offered by the Pension Fund of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) for employees of churches, schools and other similar organizations. With the cooperation of the employing institution participating in this program, a portion of your taxes can be deferred to retirement (or whenever payments are received) on both contributions and earnings. Such programs, through special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, offer exceptional opportunities to build larger retirement benefits. If you DO NOT participate in the Pension Plan, Woodhaven will match UP TO 5% of your annual salary contribution on a bi-weekly basis. If you participate in the Pension Plan, you are not eligible to receive the employer contribution for both.
Earned Time Off and Holiday Accrual
Earned Time Off and Holiday Accrual: All full-time employees are eligible for vacation time referred to as Earned Time Off (ETO). This time is pro-rated over 26 pay periods. You accrue a portion each pay period. Exempt status employees also accrue Sick Leave. Please note that Holiday Time does not guarantee an employee time off for holidays. If your normal work schedule falls on a holiday, you would need to request the time off through your supervisor.
Exempt status employees begin accruing on the first day of the month following their hire date and can use it beginning immediately.
Non-Exempt status employees begin accruing on the first day of the pay period following completion of training and are eligible to use it 6 months after completion of training. Please refer to your ETO Accrual letter in Paylocity documents once you have completed training to confirm your dates. Any time off prior to that date must be unpaid time off.
You can view your time off balance through your self service portal once you are eligible to use ETO.
If your employment is terminated or you resign without giving a 2-week notice (Exempt Status requires 30 days notice), your ETO will be forfeited.
