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.
Medical and Dental
Coverage Health care coverage is one of the most important and costly benefits
for both employers and employees. That is why North American offers
employees a choice of three medical plan options. Each covers a variety
of services, but differ in co-payments, deductibles, out-of-pocket
maximum amounts and employee contributions. Depending upon what your
need is, will depend on which plan you choose. We also offer a
comprehensive dental plan which is non-contributory, which means it is
company paid after one year of service. There are specific deductibles
that need to be met depending on your circumstances (single/family). North American's vision plan offers employees an affordable way to
maintain good health through proper vision care. Employees receive
discounts on lenses and frames from participating providers. We work for many things in life - opportunity, achievement, recognition
and money - and the things that money can do for us and for our
families. Through North American's Retirement Plan you have the
opportunity to look ahead to financial independence. You can build
financial independence in four ways. First, through Social Security,
which uses your taxes and second, through North American's Retirement
Plan - modern, flexible, soundly financed, U.S. Treasury approved.
Third, through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan, and fourth, through
your own efforts in planning, saving, and investing - all of which
increase your level of security year by year. The ESOP is an opportunity to be an owner and share in the success of
the company. It allows employees to build for the future with long term
benefits. New hires are eligible to participate on January 1st following
their date of employment. The plan is non-contributory. You will receive
a share of each year's contribution to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan
as long as you are an actively employed participant on January 1st and
December 31st of the year in which a contribution is made to the ESOP
and have at least 1000 hours of service in that year. Life Insurance protection for your family in case of death and income
protection to help replace regular earnings during disability. The Basic
Plan provides term life insurance equal to your Basic Annual Earnings
combined with Long Term Disability Insurance. Supplemental Term Life
Insurance provides another one, two or three times your Basic Annual
Earnings.
Flexible Spending Account Plan
(FSA) The Flexible Spending Account allows employees to set aside money for
either medical or dependent care expenses which is deducted from their
gross pay before federal, state and Social Security taxes are withheld. The Company's Employee Education Plan is intended to assist employees in
increasing their business skills and to enhance the potential for
advancement within the Company. The Company shares the tuition costs for
courses approved prior to registration at an accredited college or
university. Tuition costs are reimbursed based on the grade obtained in
the course. The degree chosen to pursue must relate directly to the
present position or it must equip the employee to perform in a position
that represents a career opportunity within the Company. North American encourages and supports a variety of insurance education
programs designed to broaden employee's knowledge of the life insurance
industry. Confidential assessments and referrals to help resolve personal problems
such as family matters, legal problems, stress, alcohol abuse, etc… This
company paid program is available to all employees and their immediate
families. Employees accepting internal company transfers and some new hires could
be eligible for benefits such as home purchase and sale, transport of
household good and temporary living quarters. All regular and part-time employees are eligible for vacation benefits.
The number of vacation days full-time employees will be eligible to earn
during their first year of employment will vary according to their date
of hire. 9 holidays and 2 floating holidays are available as well. The Absence Program is designed to meet the need of today's work force.
North American is confident that the program will benefit employees by
providing income in times of emergency or when other extraordinary
situations occur. This policy demonstrates the company's commitment to a
balance of work and home life. Current employees are an excellent source of top quality new employees for the company. North American will pay a bonus if an employee refers a candidate who is hired for a regular full-time position. The bonus amount depends upon the position for which the referred employee is hired. Employee
Ownership North American Company wants its employees to have a chance to share in the success of the company and an opportunity to become an owner. Employees get this opportunity through participating in the Sammons Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). You may ask how this is possible, but if you read the highlights below, you will see why applying to North American can be a valuable decision for your future.
No one is more strongly motivated to plan and work, to improve profits and growth of a business than the owners. This is the main reason for the ESOP - to make its employees partners through ownership of stock and give them another reason to do their best for the North American at all times, and in doing so, build for the future.
