MEDICAL INSURANCE

VNCC offers Kaiser HMO and Triple Option medical insurance plans.  The Agency pays a portion of the cost, and the employee picks up the balance of the premium.  All employees are paid biweekly (every other Friday), and benefit deductions are taken from the first two paychecks of the month.  The following rates are the employee cost each pay day and do not reflect any pre-tax savings, (usually about 30%).

*Note:  The Triple Option Plan isn't available in Colorado Springs.  Check with an HR benefit representative for more information.

DENTAL INSURANCE

VNCC offers United HealthCare Dental Insurance plan.  The cost is the same for both full-time and part-time employees.

LIFE & DISABILITY INSURANCE

Lincoln Financial Group is the Agency's life and disability insurance carrier.  VNCC pays for $10,000 term life and $10,000 Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance for all full-time appointed, benefited employees, (30+ hours/week).  Additional life insurance can be purchased in increments of $10,000.  Rates are based upon age and the amount of coverage purchased.  Long Term Disability (LTD) insurance and Short Term Disability (STD) insurance can be purchased according to the formula below.

RETIREMENT PLAN

RETIREMENT PLAN

A mutual fund plan through The American Funds Group is currently in place for all employees who choose to set aside money for retirement. The plan is a 403(b) plan, which allows you to take money out of your paycheck on a pre-tax basis and have the earnings grow tax-deferred.  There is no waiting period for enrollment, and employees may sign up for this at any time.  Your contributions are immediately vested.

The Agency offers a 50% matching contribution to a defined cap.  There is a 1-year service requirement for the match with a 2-year vesting schedule.  Employee contributions are, however, always fully and immediately vested.  The match cap/amount is reviewed annually.  Currently the match is 50% of your contributions capped at 4% of pay.

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT

TUITION REIMBURSEMENT

Full-time and part-time benefited employees are eligible for tuition reimbursement upon completion of 1 year of service.  VNCC reimburses full-time employees up to $1,000 per year for tuition at a licensed / certified / credentialed / registered institution.  Half-time employees, (20 hours/week), are eligible for up to $500 per year.  Rates are pro-rated based on FTE for other part-time status.

• Reimbursement is limited to college credit courses through an accredited institution that are not reimbursed through any other program.

• Reimbursable courses must be related to the employee's job and/or part of a degree program.

• Tuition is reimbursed at 100% up to the maximum allowable in the year, ($1,000 for full-time -- prorated for part-time).

• Employees must provide proof of a passing grade and proof, (i.e. copy of a bill and a check), that the tuition has been paid.

• Books, materials, fees, etc. are the responsibility of the student and will not be reimbursed.
