About North American
Corporate values are "shared" in that all the people associated with the
organization are committed to acting in ways that reflect these values.
Similar to individual values, corporate values are invisible. Although,
we "see" values in the behaviors throughout the organization they are
most visible in how employees treat each other, the way customers are
treated and the way vendors are treated. Integrity means a sense or a feeling of wholeness, completeness and
alignment. Our beliefs "hold together" in some pattern. Our principles
are in congruence with our behavior. We don't say one thing and do
another. Integrity is also a commitment to the "truth". Consequently, we
are not comfortable with simplistic solutions; we are not satisfied with
less than high-quality products, processes, service and results. We are
not comfortable with less than honest communication. Openness is holding dear the importance of honest, straightforward
communication. Valuing openness means North American supports and
encourages its employees to say what is on their minds. We seek,
encourage and give feedback to one another - both appreciative and
constructive. Valuing openness means we listen for understanding and
approach others with innocence and have the courage to tell it like it
is. North American believes that cooperation, interdependence and teamwork
is essential. Indeed, it is the competitive edge in today's increasingly
complex and relentlessly changing business environment. Fundamentally
and seemingly ironic to building a team is "respect" for the individual. Valuing accountability means believing the effort put forth at work is
not about making "their company" successful; rather it is about making
"our company" successful. It is believing that we are powerful people,
capable of getting the results we want. Accountability means to strive
to shape events rather than have events shape the individual. It is the
rock solid belief in the importance of the marriage of individual
growth with the financial success of the company. Valuing
accountability means addressing conflict, barriers, setbacks and
failures with positive attitudes and behaviors. North American Company's benefit program is designed especially with
its employees in mind. As an employee owner, benefits are an important
part of the total compensation package at North American.
Paid time Off
(PTO) PTO allows an employee to accrue a bank of hours to be applied to time off requests for personal reasons or vacation purpose during the course of employment. PTO will begin to accrue with the first paycheck; new employees are eligible to use PTO after three months of active employment. The table below outlines the amount of PTO accrual and the maximum bank values that can be earned throughout different tenures of service.
We observe nine holidays each year: New Year's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, the day after Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, plus an additional holiday to be determined each year. Short-Term
Disability Short-Term Disability provides salary continuation for absences in excess of three days, when medically necessary and appropriate healthcare certification is provided. STD will become available after one year of employment and the amount of STD benefit will increase over time based upon length of service. Long-Term
Disability Long Term Disability will provide financial protection by paying a percentage of income (at 66.67%) to employees who are unable to work due to a qualifying disability. Group Health
Coverage We offer two comprehensive group health benefit plans, a traditional PPO plan and a High Deductible plan. These group health benefit programs are self-insured plans administered through Blue Cross Blue Shield, providing excellent provider coverage for our employee shareholders. Both plans offer access to prescription drugs through retail and mail order programs. Health
Savings Account A Health Savings Account is available if electing the High Deductible Health Plan enabling employees to take advantage of the pre-tax salary deferral to cover current and future medical expenses. Flexible
Spending Account AFLAC Flex One allows the option of having out-of-pocket expenses for childcare, medical care, and group insurance premiums deducted on a pre-tax basis from payroll for any expenses incurred during the current plan year. Dental coverage is offered through Delta Dental. There are two plans to choose from: the Core Plan and the Enhanced Plan. Our Core Plan is 100% covered and is a basic dental plan offering 100% preventative benefit up to twice per year. Our Enhanced Plan provides a "richer" benefit to include orthodontic coverage. Vision coverage is offered through VSP. Services included: eye exams, frames, lenses, and contacts. Group Life
Insurance Employees are eligible to participate in our Group Life, Accidental Death and Dismemberment Plan. The cost of this plan is paid for by the Company and provides employee coverage at a value up to 2 times their annual earnings, rounded up to the next $1,000. In addition, supplemental life and dependent group life coverage may be purchased through payroll deduction. Note: Benefits for group health, dental, vision, life insurance, and flexible spending will commence the first of the month after hire date.
Employee Stock Ownership
Plan (ESOP) We are an employer in the qualified Sammons Enterprises, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan. This plan is designed to allow employees to accumulate an interest in Sammons while actively employed by a Sammons Company. The ESOP provides an opportunity to acquire shares of stock in Sammons annually without cost to the employee; stock that can be used as income in retirement years. 401(k)
Savings Plans This program offers participation in either a Traditional 401(k) or a Roth 401(k) plan upon the first of the quarter following 3 months of employment. The 401(k) Savings Plan allows salary deferral into the 401(k) plan tax-deferred from federal income taxation. These plans also accept rollover contributions from other qualified retirement plans. As a voluntary benefit plan, we have partnered with AFLAC to allow employees to purchase supplemental benefits to meet their individual needs. Such benefit plans include: Personal Recovery Plus, Voluntary Indemnity Plan (Hospital Confinement Indemnity Policy), Personal Accident Expense Plan, Personal Cancer Protector Plan, Personal Hospital Intensive Care Insurance, Personal Short-Term Disability (Income Protection Insurance Policy), and Personal Long-Term Care Plan. All plans are available through a convenient payroll deduction. U.S. Savings
Bonds Employees are eligible to participate in the U.S. Savings Bonds Payroll Savings Plan. Money placed in Savings Bonds is readily available in times of need. The I Bond earns an adjustable interest rate that keeps the savings growing over and above inflation for up to 30 years.
Education and Tuition Assistance This program is designed to provide growth and advancement to our employees. Reimbursement is designed for both undergraduate and graduate (college) level class work, with a yearly benefit up to $5,250. This benefit is available after six months of employment.
