As an employee of Intrepid, there are several benefits available to take care of you and your family.  The summary below outlines our coverages for plan year June 1, 2007 to May 31, 2008.

Health and Welfare

Intrepid offers a choice of Group Medical coverage designed for flexibility to meet you needs.  Employees who elect to participate in a health risk assessment, biometric screening, and smoking cessation program are eligible to receive a discount on their monthly premium.  Also included with the medical plan is a Dental/Vision plan that is part of the total monthly cost to you.  To assist employees with navigating the complex healthcare system, we have also put in place Health Advocate as a hotline to work through issues with healthcare professionals and insurance companies.  Intrepid recognizes the impact of medical costs to every individual and has maintained the lowest deductibles, coinsurance, and co-pays available.

On your behalf, and at no cost to you, Intrepid has provided a Life Insurance benefit equal to two times your annual salary, to a maximum of $31,000.  Additionally, we have provided an Accidental Death & Dismemberment policy at the same limit as the Life Insurance benefit.  An added benefit of $4,000 for spouse and children coverage is provided at no cost. 

Optional Life Insurance and Accidental Death & Dismemberment polices for yourself, your spouse, and your children are available at affordable rates through payroll deduction

At no cost to you, Intrepid has provided a weekly short-term disability benefit should you be unable to work for a limited period of time.  You will receive 70% of your base earnings, up to $2,000 per week, for up to a period of 26 weeks.  Your benefits will begin on the first day of an accident and on the 8th day of an illness.  All applicable statutory taxes will be deducted from your weekly disability payment. 

Eligible employees may elect to purchase additional long-term disability benefits that provide 60% of your base earnings once Short Term Disability benefits have been exhausted.
