Health care and dependant care accounts
These pre-tax plans help pay for medical/dental/vision expenses not covered by insurance and tax-deductible dependent care expenses.

Paid time off
A state-of-the-art paid time off program offers maximum flexibility through the accrual of a combined bank of time. New hires begin accruing at a rate of 9% of hours paid, exclusive of overtime. This accrual rate increases with years of service. Time off earned is used for vacations, personal days, sick days, and holidays.
