Life & Disability Insurance with SunLife

Apex provides you with Basic Life/AD&D coverage as well as Short-Term and Long-Term Disability through Sun Life. You also have the option to purchase additional life insurance for you, your spouse and dependent children.


Basic Life/AD&D

Employees working 30 or more hours per week are eligible for $50,000 coverage payable to your designated beneficiary in the event of your death. An additional accidental death & dismemberment benefit (AD&D) is payable to you in the event of a covered dismemberment or to your beneficiary if your death is the result of an accident.


Voluntary Life/AD&D

A sudden accident or death can leave you or your loved ones in a vulnerable position. Employees have the opportunity to enroll in Term Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance which will supplement lost income in the event of an accident or death. If you choose to enroll in employee coverage, this will be in addition to your employer provided Basic Life coverage.


Who's Your Beneficiary? Naming a beneficiary is a crucial part of electing life insurance. Also, don't forget to update your primary or secondary beneficiary if you experience a life event, such as a divorce or birth of a child.


Short-Term Disability

Everyday illnesses or injuries can interfere with your ability to work. Even a few weeks away from work can make it difficult to manage household costs. Short-Term Disability coverage provides financial protection for you by paying a portion of your income, so you can focus on getting better and worry less about keeping up with your bills. Your coverage through Sun Life pays 60% of your income to a maximum of $1,600 per week. You will pay taxes on the benefit through a payroll tax, so in the event of a claim your benefit will be tax free.


Long-Term Disability

Serious illnesses or accidents can interrupt your life, and your ability to work for months – even years. Long Term Disability provides financial protection for you by paying a portion of your income, so you have financial support to manage your disability and your household. Benefits begin after a 90-day elimination period are equal to 60% of covered monthly earnings up to $10,000 for full-time employees. You will pay taxes on the benefit through a payroll tax, so in the event of a claim your benefit will be tax free.

Voluntary Benefits with SunLife

Apex Engineering provides eligible employees with the opportunity to participate in a variety of voluntary benefits through Sun Life. The voluntary benefits are designed to help offset the cost of medical care, should you need it. You may enroll in any of the following benefits during our open enrollment period.


Accidental Injury Insurance

As we all know, accidents can happen at any time. Having an accident doesn’t just hurt you– it can also damage your finances. Your medical insurance will cover some of the expenses, but you’ll be left to foot the bills for your copays and deductible. Accident insurance is designed to help meet out-of-pockets expenses and extra bills that can follow an accidental injury, whether minor or catastrophic. Coverage includes payments for emergency treatment and hospitalizations, as well as treatment for broken bones, lacerations, and burns. There is also a wellness benefit that includes a payment for completing a health screening or preventive care visit. Our group accident insurance is an affordable way to make sure you can cover the gap between what your medical insurance covers and what you’d owe out-of-pocket if you or a family member were to get injured.


Critical Illness Insurance

You may have medical insurance– But that doesn’t mean you’re covered for all of the expenses resulting from a serious illness. Critical Illness, including cancer, impacts so many lives. One of the greatest and most easily forgotten effects is the financial burden associated with such diagnosis. In addition to the cost of treatment, the time away from work can deplete your savings account in no time. Coverage for yourself includes payments up to $20,000 depending on the level of coverage you choose. Coverage for spouses and children can also be chosen.

401(k) Retirement Plan with Empower

By joining the Apex Engineering Group’s 401(k) plan you have an opportunity to make a real difference in the future of your retirement.

 

The Plan we offer is a valuable benefit to help you save for the future. Saving now can help you have the income you’ll need at retirement. Participating in the Plan is easy. You contribute a portion of your pay to your Plan account each payday through convenient payroll deduction. Contributions are then allocated to the Plan's investment options you select. Apex Engineering Group also makes contributions to your account.

 

There are significant tax advantages, too. For example, your qualifying contributions, employer contributions and all earnings on your account are not subject to current federal income tax (or, where applicable, state, or local taxes) until you take them out of the Plan. This tax deferral gives your retirement savings the ability to grow under the most favorable terms possible. The Plan also allows you to make designated Roth contributions. However, designated Roth contributions are included in your current taxable income, but may be withdrawn tax-free, if certain conditions are met. See your Summary Plan Description for more details.

 

By combining convenience with these special tax benefits, your retirement savings plan offers you one of the best ways to fund your future. We are excited to offer you this worthwhile benefit and we hope you will use it to help make your retirement dreams a reality. So, get started today and take the first step toward a brighter financial future!
