As A United Employee You May Be Eligible
For The Following Benefits
- Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance
On the first of the month following the applicable waiting period with the Company, you'll be eligible for entry into our group Health Insurance Plan. Based upon your insurance needs, your geographic area, and your funds available for insurance contributions, we have a plan for you.
- Life/Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance
Along with the health care package we offer comes a Life Insurance Plan to
help provide for your loved ones in the event of your death. The plan also
includes provisions for you or your family in the event of an accident which
results in loss of limbs or sight. In most cases the benefit is $5,000. This is
available at no cost if you enroll in our group medical plan.
- Medical Leave and Short-term Disability
On the first of the month following the applicable waiting period of your employment, you will be eligible for Medical Leave and Short-term Disability. These benefits are paid for non-work related illness/injury that would cause you to be off work for 5 or more consecutive days. These benefits are self-funded by United Laboratories and provided at no cost to you. You do not need to be enrolled in the Group Medical and/or Dental Plan to be eligible for this benefit.
- Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP II)
The
Employee Stock Ownership Plan provides a special retirement
benefit. The bulk of the assets of the ESOP II are invested
in common stock of United. Therefore, as a member of the
ESOP II, you become an employee/owner of the Company. This
is available after the completion of one year of service and 1,000
hours worked.
- 401(K) Retirement Plan
After your six-month
anniversary and if you have worked at least 1,000 hours with
United, you'll be eligible to take part in the 401(K) Plan
to assist you in your retirement planning. The 401(K) Plan
is an active, voluntary plan in which you make contributions
to your own retirement account. In essence, the 401(K) Plan
is a personal savings plan that takes pre-tax contributions
out of your pay check. These monies are set aside in a tax
deferred account. Because the account is meant to be used
upon retirement when you will be in a lower tax bracket, it
will be taxed at a lower rate. Another benefit of this plan
is that you can direct your investment in different accounts
to earn additional capital on the money set aside in the
account. You are eligible to enroll at the start of the
quarter following your six-month anniversary.
