Employee Benefits at CMC | Community Medical Centers Careers

The talent of our employees drives Community Medical Centers’ success and makes our organization a great place to work. So in addition to your pay, our benefit offerings are here to say THANK YOU to our employees and their families. We support our employees in many ways with health benefits, financial security and other programs that assist employees in everyday life.

All full-time and part-time employees are eligible for health benefits the first of the month following 30 days of employment. Per diem employees may become eligible for medical benefits only for themselves, and applicable children, under the ACA. They must meet the applicable required hours during the standard measurement period of 12 months.

Medical, Dental & Vision Plans

Community Medical Centers provides robust benefit plans with competitive premiums for medical, dental/vision and additional supplemental benefits. All employees have the option of choosing between three health plans including our own Community Care Health HMO that offers quality, affordable care within the Santé network of physicians and two Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plans; one with a high deductible and out of pocket maximum and the other with a low deductible and out of pocket maximum. We also offer free medical coverage under the high-deductible PPO plan for employee-only coverage. All medical plans include the same prescription coverage.

Community offers two combined dental and vision plans: a PPO plan that allows both in-network and out–of-network dental coverage with a corresponding high coverage vision plan and a Dental Health Maintenance Organization (DHMO) plan with a corresponding lower coverage vision plan.

Health & Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts

Health Flexible Savings : Employees can set up this account to receive reimbursement for eligible medical, dental and vision care expenses such as deductibles, co-pays and coinsurance for themselves or a family member. This is done on a pre-tax basis, and offers a great way for employees to save anywhere between 10 and 30% on eligible health expenses.

Dependent Care Savings : Employees can set up this account to receive reimbursement for dependent day care expenses for their children under age 13 or elder day care expenses. This is done on a pre-tax basis and offers a great way for parents to save while working outside of the home.

Life, Long Term Disability, & Long Term Care Insurances

Life Insurance : Community provides a basic life and accidental death and dismemberment plan at no cost to employees. There also is an option to purchase additional supplemental term life insurances for an employee. Supplemental life insurance coverage also is available for a spouse and/or dependent children up to age 26.

Long Term Disability: If you're unable to work becuase of a sickness or injury, long-term disability insurance helps protect your income while you recover at home. After you have been disabled for 12 months, you many qualify for a monthly benefit of 50 percent of your base pay up to $20,000 per month. This is an employer-sponsored benefit at no cost to you. Also, you may purchase a buy-up option at new hire or open enrollment for a benefit of 60% of base pay, up to $20,00 per month for a low cost.
Long Term Care: Optional benefit that offers financial protection in case employee or family member can no longer perform daily living activities, such as eating, bathing, or dressing. This kind of care is usually not covered by medial, disability insurances, or Medicare.

Time Off

Paid Time Off (Vacation, Holiday, Sick)

A great career comes with work-life balance – like being able to take a break when you need it. Full-time and part-time employees accrue paid time off which allows staff to take time off on recognized holidays to spend time with loved ones, take a vacation, or for personal reasons throughout the year. Employees are also provided the equivalent of three sick days per year (after 90 days of employment) to use for your own illness or the illness of a family member. In addition, full-time and part-time employees accrue extended sick leave for illness that may extend past three days.

Jury Duty and Bereavement Leave

Jury Duty : Full-time and part-time employees receive their base salary equivalent for a maximum of 30 days while serving as a juror and per diem employees are granted this leave without pay.

Bereavement : Full-time and part-time employees may take up to three days of leave with full pay in case of death in the immediate family, including grandchildren, grandparents, mothers-in-law and fathers-in-law. One day of leave with full pay is granted in case of death of brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law and spouse's grandparent.

Leaves of Absence

In accordance with California state law and Federal Law, Community offers a variety of leave programs for unique employee situations for a variety of reasons (i.e., medical, maternity, organ/bone marrow donation, etc) for themselves and/or their family members. In addition, Community also offers personal leaves of absence for qualified employees.

Retirement

Retirement Plans

All Community Medical Centers' employees are eligible to enroll in Community's Contributory 403(b) retirement plan. Employees can immediately enroll and begin deferring their own pay contributions immediately. Then, after one year of service, working at least 1,000 hours, employees will be eligible to receive matching Community funds. For employees who contribute at least 2% either pre-tax or after-tax, Community will contribute 5%. This amount can increase over time to a maximum of 8%. See enrollment materials for more details. The employee assumes the investment risk by choosing how to invest funds. If a fund is not chosen, the employee will default to a “target date fund” which assumes investments for the employee based upon a targeted retirement date. Upon retirement, employees have the money they contributed, the money Community contributed and the investment earnings/loss depending upon market conditions. Employees become vested after three years if they work at least 1,000 hours in each calendar year. Employees also may take their account balance with them if they leave Community before retiring.

Supplemental Savings Programs

All employees are eligible to participate in a 403(b) Tax Sheltered Annuity Plan (TSA) immediately upon hire and they may contribute in two ways; pre-tax option and/or after-tax through a Roth option. Contribution limits are set by the Federal Government annually. There are catch-up provisions for those who are 50 years or older or have at least 15 years of continuous service with Community.
