5.7 Employee Benefits
All employees must be offered the benefits package for which they are
eligible as determined by the archdiocese. A record of the employee's
choices concerning medical, dental, vision, short and long-term disability insurance, and life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance must be kept in a separate medical file for each employee. Specific information about each benefit is available in the Benefits Guide (red) and Benefits Guide (blue)(for ACC, Cemeteries and Mortuaries).
Archdiocesan employees have the
option to enroll eligible dependents for medical, vision, and dental
benefits. Eligible dependents of employees include:
Dependent children, up to age 26, regardless of student status
Any
dependent child who is incapable of self-support because of a medical
or physical disability that the employee claims on his or her federal
tax return
If an employee waives any benefit, a signed
written waiver indicating each benefit the employee has voluntarily
chosen to refuse must be kept in the employee's medical file.
Many
employee benefits are determined by federal and state law. The policies
governing these benefits must be followed by each location.
See the New Hire Orientation Checklist for the benefits that can be made available.
