EARL | BENEFITS

At Earl Industries we take great pride in offering our employees a strong, well-rounded benefit package. Periodically, employees are surveyed to find out how current benefits are meeting their individual needs. Often, adjustments are made based upon responses to these surveys. The following paragraphs summarize the Earl Industries' Benefit Package. We encourage you to compare our benefits. Earl Industries is confident that our program is one of, if not, the best available.


Medical Insurance

Earl provides medical coverage to eligible employees at a minimal cost per week. Family members may be added by payment of an additional premium through pre-tax payroll deduction. For hourly employees, coverage takes effect on the first of the month after a three-month waiting period and submission of an application. Plan options offer a low co-pay for primary and specialist visits. The low option provides coverage at 80% once the employee meets the contract year deductible for some services. Both plans also include a prescription card.


Dental Insurance

Earl provides dental coverage to eligible employees as part of the medical premium. Family members may be added by payment of their full premiums through pre-tax payroll deduction. Coverage is effective on the first of the month after a three-month waiting period and submission of an application. * Employees may select any dentist they wish. Services are reimbursed for the usual and customary charge, with 100% coverage and no deductible for routine preventive care. Other services are covered after the calendar year deductible is met at various percentages depending on the type of service.
