Each employee will receive the lesser of two times their annual base salary or $200,000. Employees do not have to pay a monthly premium. Voluntary life insurance Supplemental term-life insurance, including accidental death and dismemberment coverage, is available for employees at the employees’ expense. Dependent life insurance Supplemental term-life insurance, including accidental death and dismemberment coverage, for an employee’s spouse and/or dependent children (within age guidelines) is available for purchase. Critical illness and cancer insurance Employees can purchase this coverage for themselves and their family. This benefit helps protect employees and their families from financial loss by providing lump-sum benefits upon diagnosis of a covered critical illness, including cancer. Accident insurance Employees can purchase this coverage for themselves and their family. While health plans may cover direct costs associated with an accident, you can use this accident benefit to help cover related expenses like lost income, child care, deductibles and copays. Long-Term disability insurance Employees may elect to pay for long-term disability insurance which could potentially pay up to 65% of their base monthly salary. In the event you become disabled from a non-work-related injury or sickness, disability income benefits may partially replace lost income. Hospital indemnity insurance This plan offers hospitalization benefits for you, your spouse and/or your child(ren). When you face a hospital stay, you can receive a benefit to help pay unexpected expenses not covered by your health plan. Unreimbursed medical account LLCC offers a tax-free method for employees to place money aside and use it to pay for out-of-pocket family medical dental and vision expenses. You have a choice to join the unreimbursed medical account if you enroll in the Open Access Health Insurance Plan or if you choose to decline LLCC medical insurance. If an employee declines health insurance coverage, LLCC will make an annual contribution of $500 into an unreimbursed medical spending account with no contribution required by the employee. If the employee wishes to contribute more than $500 of their own money to the account, LLCC will match the contribution, not to exceed $1,425. Dependent care flexible spending account DCAP is a pre-tax benefit account used to pay for eligible dependent care services. It’s a smart and simple way to save money while taking care of your loved ones so you can continue to work. Health Savings Account (HSA) Employees on the HDHP will be assigned a health savings account through HealthEquity. LLCC will contribute a total of $3,000.00 to your HSA during fiscal year 2024. This contribution will be made in two installments – July 15, 2023, and Jan. 15, 2024. The dollar amount of the installment will be based on your active employment during the six-month installment period. This tax-free contribution can be used to offset your out-of-pocket costs related to health, dental and vision expenses. Retirement plan The State Universities Retirement System (SURS) covers LLCC employees. SURS contributions are deducted on a pre-tax basis. The employee may choose from three different retirement plans. SURS does not coordinate with Social Security and, consequently, there is no payroll deduction for FICA. However, there is a payroll deduction requirement of 1.45% of gross wages for Medicare. Deferred compensation LLCC offers employees the opportunity to participate in a voluntary deferred compensation plan. We offer a 403(b) plan, 457 plan, Roth IRA (not tax deferred) and a no-load profile plan. LLCC tuition waiver Starting or continuing education is highly valued at LLCC. Benefit-eligible employees, their spouses and qualified dependents are eligible to use a tuition waiver which waives the standard tuition and fees for LLCC credited courses.

Additionally, certification and re-certification for professional organizations may also be eligible.
