Your Benefits Working For You

From health and dental to life insurance and retirement, The Carle Foundation offers you benefits that fit you and your family’s needs. We know how important benefits are to your total compensation plan and your career at Carle.

Outlined below is an overview of available benefits at The Carle Foundation.  This list does not cover all benefits and individual benefit programs may vary depending on employment status.

You and Your Family's Health

Our health and dental benefit package provides peace of mind for you and your eligible family members.

Health

Our health plan provides comprehensive coverage, including a tiered prescription plan.  The Carle Foundation pays for up to 80% of premiums.

Dental

Our dental plan allows you to see any dental provider for services and charges are covered at 100%, 80% or 50% of the usual and customary charges depending on the type of service.

Life Insurance

As a part of your overall benefits, Carle provides a minimum amount of life insurance coverage. You may also choose to purchase additional coverage for yourself,  your spouse, your domestic partner and/or dependents.

Time Off

Carle offers you paid time off with 100% of your base pay by using your paid leave hours. Paid Leave accrues immediately upon your hire date and is available after only three months.

Other benefits include:

• Severe Illness
• Short Term Disability
• Long Term Disability
• Supplemental Long Term Disability

Retirement

We all know how important it is to save for retirement; so all employees can take advantage of several options:

Pension Plan

Carle contributes an amount equal to 5% of employee’s annual earnings to a pension account after eligibility requirements are met.

403(b)

Upon employment, all employees are eligible for a pre-tax payroll deduction to save money for their retirement through a voluntary 403(b) account. Employees choose investment accounts that complement their investment strategy.  Employees who are eligible for the pension plan and contribute at least 2% to their voluntary 403(b) account will receive an additional 2% match from Carle into their 403(b) account (eligibility rules apply). That is getting free money from Carle!

Flexible Spending

You also have the opportunity to enroll in a flexible spending account that allows you to pay for medical and/or day care expenses before taxes.

Domestic Partner Benefit

In recognition of a more diverse workplace and to provide an overall benefit package that is competitive and valuable to our employees, The Carle Foundation is proud to offer domestic partner benefits as part of our employee-centered benefit plans.
