Employee Insurance

The benefit plan being utilized by Electrical Staffing is designed as an enhancement to your employment with this firm. It is structured to allow you access to health and welfare coverages at an affordable cost. Please be advised that there are no underwriting medical questions for admittance to this plan, so long as you sign up within 30 days from your hire date. The same applies for eligible dependents, now or at the time of acquiring new dependents. If, however, you refuse this offering at the initial open enrollment period, or should you drop the plan in a subsequent month, you may be required to prove insurability, i.e., answer medical questions with the possibility of rejection, before being admitted (or readmitted) into this plan. Below are the basic features of this plan and its administration.

ADMINISTRATION -- Your coverage in a given month will be determined by the number of hours worked the immediately preceding fiscal month. For instance, if you worked less than 91 hours in January, you would be eligible to utilize the benefits included in Level I in February. If you were to work between 91 and 130 hours in February, you may utilize Level II benefits in March, and more than 130 hours in March would make you eligible for full Level III benefits in April. Should your service hours fluctuate up or down, your benefit level may be affected up or down from month to month, but you will always qualify for one of these levels if you perform any hours at all.
 
MISCELLANEOUS -- Coverage will extend from the 1st calendar day of the month through the last day. All covered employees will receive summary plan booklets and medical cards, usually within 4 weeks after their effective date. In the meanwhile, you may access your coverage by contacting the Administrator with claim detail and information, using the same phone number as cited previously herein. Should you encounter a caregiver who does not recognize or wish to process your medical claim for you, you may file your claim directly with the administrator. Payment would then be tendered directly to you. Your summary plan booklet and a handout within this package will contain information on proper claims procedure, or you may contact Plan Benefit Services for same, at the number cited above.
