You will become eligible for the remaining additional benefits on the first of the month after 90 continuous days.
Flexible Reimbursement Accounts
JMC offers a Flexible Reimbursement Account Plan designed to help you take home more of the pay you earn by allowing you to pay for certain medical expenses and dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis.
MetLife Retirement 401(a)/403(b)
JMC offers 401(a) and 403(b) retirement plans.
401(a): You will receive a discretionary guaranteed company contribution on a per pay period basis once you meet the eligibility requirement of one year of active employment and 1,000 hours of service. The contribution is based on a predetermined percentage of your compensation. You will also receive a match of your 403(b) contribution (50% up to 2% of compensation) into your 401(a) account. You will be 100% vested after you have completed three years of service and 1,000 or more hours each year.
403(b): Jupiter Medical Center also offers a voluntary tax deferred retirement plan. MetLife utilizes the mutual fund industry's expert analysis of Morningstar to determine the fund choices for each asset class. Furthermore, all loads are waived to purchase or sell these (top tier) funds. Finally, for those people wishing to have their funds invested automatically by investment professionals at a minimal effort and cost, there is the ProManage Program. ProManage will provide a personalized asset allocation portfolio for you taking into account your age, account balance and perhaps the present value of your anticipated Social Security benefit. ProManage will also rebalance your account periodically to maintain a well diversified investment portfolio.
403(b) ROTH: In addition to the traditional 403(b), JMC also offers a ROTH 403(b). These contributions are not tax deductible, but grow tax free. Our MetLife representative is onsite each week to help you.
Education Assistance
The Educational Assistance Program is an integral part of our employee development and continuous improvement efforts. Employees are eligible for educational assistance under this program if they are a regular, full-time employee and employed for a minimum of six months. Assistance covers tuition and books for approved courses on a reimbursement basis. The maximum reimbursement is $3,000 per year to not exceed $12,000 for the entire program. Educational Assistance forms are available through your Human Resources department and must be approved prior to starting the course/semester.
Employee Assistance Program
The Employee Assistance Program (EAP), offered through CIGNA Behavioral Health, helps employees and their families identify and resolve personal problems. The program includes unlimited telephonic consultations and three counseling sessions with a CIGNA-approved EAP counselor for each matter that cannot be resolved.
Family Medical Leave
FMLA requires covered employers to provide up to 12 weeks of unpaid (concurrent with personal days off and major sick), job-protected leave to "eligible" employees for certain family and medical reasons. Employees are eligible if they have worked for a covered employer for at least one year and for 1,250 hours over the previous 12 months.
