Benefits include:
Retirement Plan
HJF offers a 403(b) retirement plan with employer matching contributions that increase with years of service to employees who work 20 or more hours per week. A new employee receives 100% of the first 5% of salary each payroll period. An employee may contribute the lesser of 90% of their salary or the maximum permitted by law: $15,500 in 2007. Employees age 50 or older may contribute an additional $5,000 in 2007.
Both the employee and employer contributions are 100% vested immediately. HJF offers variable annuity and mutual fund investment options.
Group Health Insurance, Dental and Vision
The Foundation's health insurance program is comprised of two Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) options nationwide. An HMO option is available in California. International employees are insured through CIGNA International.
The Foundation pays a high percentage of premiums for full-time employees to lower employee out-of-pocket expenses. Regular part-time employees scheduled to work 21 hours or more per week are eligible to participate in the program, but pay higher premiums than full-time employees. The Foundation also pays a high percentage of premiums for dental and vision coverage.
Flexible Spending Program
Our Flexible Spending Plan helps employees pay for unreimbursed, out-of-pocket medical or dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars. Employees estimate expenses and designate contributions to their accounts each year.
