Benefits and Perks
One of the founding principles of Benefitfocus is Respect the Individual. Associates bring their own life experiences, skill sets and drive. We respect your individuality and provide an entrepreneurial environment where you can make things happen. Join our team of inspired associates and see just how far you can go.
Our Culture Promotes Wellness and Balance
Since our start-up days we’ve believed that a great culture and the right environment would bring out the best in individuals. We also believe that what’s happening at home is just as important as what’s happening at work. We all have different needs and our own lifestyles, so Benefitfocus offers a diverse benefits package.
Benefits and balance will play an important role in your career choice. In addition to competitive pay and a challenging and satisfying career, Benefitfocus realizes you need time to relax with friends and family, as well as flexibility and support for personal needs. So we offer associates a variety of benefits aimed at keeping you healthy, motivated and moving forward. Below is a list of some of the benefits and perks we offer.
Health and Wellness
An integral part of a rewarding career is continued good health, financial security and peace of mind. Benefitfocus offers two comprehensive healthcare plans for you and your family. We also offer:
- Dental and vision coverage
- On-site biometric health screenings
- Corporate gym memberships and discounts
- Wellness programs
- Short and long term disability coverage
- Life insurance and access to a 24/7 nurse-line
Investing
Join the Benefitfocus 401(k) plan on your very first day! Benefitfocus will match 50 cents on every dollar you defer pre-tax up to a pre-tax contribution rate of 6 percent (excluding catch-up contributions). That’s a maximum matching contribution of 3 percent of your eligible income.
Time Off
Benefitfocus recognizes that everyone needs time away from work to relax and pursue personal interests. We have a generous annual leave (vacation) plan and a carry or roll-over provision so associates can roll unused leave to the following year. It’s also important to take off when you’re sick or injured. Benefitfocus associates can accrue up to 30 sick days. We also convert up to 16 hours of sick leave into vacation every January. Benefitfocus observes eight major holidays:
- New Year’s Day
- Memorial Day
- Fourth of July
- Labor Day
- Thanksgiving Day and the Friday after Thanksgiving
- Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
