Retirement

We help our employees invest in their retirement both by offering a 401(k) and by being an ESOP.

401(k) savings plan

Our commitment to providing excellent benefits includes incentivizing employee savings for retirement by offering a 401(k) plan. Employees are automatically enrolled at a 6% payroll deduction after 90 days. You can change this amount at any time. SCJ contributes to your retirement via the ESOP contributions as described below. The ESOP has proven a better value in recent years, and company retirement contributions have been focused there.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

SCJ became a 100% Employee-Owned company in the fall of 2019. After completing one year of employment and working at least 1,000 hours, you will be enrolled in the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) retroactively to January 1 of your first anniversary year. Employees accrue shares in the plan annually based on compensation at no cost to themselves. All assets in the ESOP come from SCJ.

Disability

A disability is an illness or injury that prevents you from working. Think of Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability as paycheck insurance.

SCJ-Paid Long-Term Disability

SCJ Alliance provides employees with a Long-Term Disability plan at no cost.

If you cannot work because of a covered disability, Long-Term Disability insurance replaces a portion of your income. After your claim is approved, you will receive a monthly check for your benefits.

• That helps you pay everyday expenses like your mortgage, rent, childcare, and groceries.
• If you are able, Sun Life has benefits and services, including guidance from vocational rehabilitation counselors, to help you return to work.

Short-Term Disability

We also offer you the option to purchase a Voluntary Short-Term Disability policy via payroll deductions.

• Suppose you’re unable to work because of a covered disability. In that case, Short-Term Disability insurance replaces a portion of your income in addition to providing other services and benefits that help you return to work.
• After your claim is approved, you will receive a check for your benefits that helps you pay everyday expenses like your mortgage or rent, childcare, and groceries.

Health & Wellness

As a regular employee, you are eligible for the benefits listed below, subject to applicable waiting periods, eligibility requirements, and employee contributions.

Medical, Vision, Prescription Drug Coverage, and Dental

We offer you the choice of five (5) PPO plans through Regence Blue Shield. You will have the option to choose a Traditional Plan or a Qualified High Deductible Health Plan (QHDHP) with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Ultimately, the choice is yours…

Health Savings Account (HSA)

We offer two Qualified High Deductible HealthPlans (QHDHP) with a Health Savings Account (HSA). An HSA, or Health Savings Account is a unique tax-advantaged account that can be used to pay for current or future healthcare expenses. When combined with a Qualified High-Deductible Health Plan (QHDHP), it offers savings and tax advantages that a traditional health plan can’t duplicate.

Flexible Savings Accounts (FSA)

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) help employees save up to 40% on health and dependent care expenses. For employees enrolled in traditional health plans, healthcare FSAs are used to pay for prescription drugs, copays, deductibles, and other out-of-pocket costs. For employees enrolled in qualified high deductible health plans (QHDHP w HSA), a Limited Purpose FSA pays for dental and vision out-of-pocket costs. Dependent care FSAs are great options to save and pay for childcare.

Elective Plans

We offer you the option to purchase additional coverage via payroll deductions to help protect your family in case of the unexpected.

• Accident Insurance
• Critical Illness
• Hospital Indemnity

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

Personal issues, planning for life events, or managing daily life can affect your work, health, and family. GuidanceResources® provides support, resources, and information for personal and work-life
issues. GuidanceResources is company-sponsored, confidential, and free to you and your dependents.

Emergency Travel Assistance

As an active employee enrolled in Sun Life’s Life or Accident insurance, you and your immediate family are members of Assist America and are entitled to its services.

Identity Theft Protection

Services provided by Assist America’s SecurAssist Identity Protection to active employees enrolled in Sun Life’s Life or Accident insurance.

Life

SCJ-Provided Basic Life and AD&D Insurance

Employees working 20 hours per week or more, are automatically enrolled, at no cost to you, in our Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) plan through Sun Life.

Additional life/AD&D insurance options for self, spouse/domestic partner, and dependents

In addition to the Basic Life and AD&D, you have the option of purchasing additional Life and AD&D (Accidental Death & Dismemberment) protection. Take comfort in knowing that life insurance can provide the people you love with financial support when you can’t be there – and they need it most. The policy includes an equal amount of AD&D insurance, which provides a benefit if you suffer a covered accidental injury or die from a covered accident.

• Accident Insurance
• Critical Illness insurance
• Hospital Indemnity Insurance

Work Life Balance

We Hire Differently & Deliberately

We stack our ranks with great talent who need room to grow. Everyone at SCJ has been intentionally chosen to build the strongest team, hand-selected for skill and attitude. None of us are here by accident. We don’t do cookie cutters. You are more than your title and don’t need to “play a role” to be here other than to work hard and have fun.

Paid Time Off

We all work hard, and playing hard or at least taking decompression seriously is important. You’ll accrue PTO, and we expect you to use it. We also want pictures and stories of your journeys. Don’t forget the Mugshot! Take along an SCJ mug to include in a shot or two. For this purpose, all employees are eligible for paid time off (PTO). This time may be used for vacation or sick leave, and the time available increases with tenure.

Paid Holidays

We have nine (9) paid holidays throughout the year. We recognize seven standard federal holidays, the day after Thanksgiving, and a personal floating holiday.

Jury Duty

Trial by jury is a guaranteed constitutional right, and we believe that meeting the civic responsibility of serving on a jury is essential. We also know that reconciling civic duty with financial realities can be a challenge. SCJ Alliance provides all employees with leave for the full period of jury duty service as required by law.

Charitable Match

SCJ will donate up to $100 every year to the charity of your choice through a dollar-for-dollar charitable matching program. When you donate more than $25 to a qualifying organization, SCJ will send a matching donation to the organization, doubling your gift!

Flexible Work Schedules

Opportunities for our staff to enjoy flexible work schedules. Though we prefer our staff to be available during our traditional working hours, we are committed to honoring our employee’s requests to adjust their schedules to accommodate personal interests and family needs within reasonable limits.

Career Development

Expand your horizons professionally and personally

SCJ is dedicated to the career development of all team members. We always look for fun ways to encourage, facilitate, and record professional and personal growth opportunities.

Some of our programs and information sessions, from simple webinars or presentations to long-term training programs, may be more robust than others. Many offerings are paid training, while others are offered for personal interest or growth. While we can’t capture all the opportunities we offer, below is a list of those we feel may be important to you!

• SCJ-paid continuing education opportunities
• SCJ-paid professional trainings
• SCJ-paid conference attendance
