As A United Employee You May Be Eligible
For The Following Benefits

  1. 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.
     
  2. 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.
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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.
     
  5. 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.
