Plan Year
December 1, 2026 - November 30, 2027
What is Open Enrollment?
Open Enrollment is the one time of year that you are able to enroll in or modify your employee benefits for the upcoming plan year. Elections you make at this time will remain in effect until the next Open Enrollment period, unless you have a Qualifying Life Event that allows for a plan change.
What is a Qualifying Life Event?
A Qualifying Life Event (such as marriage, divorce, birth/adoption of a child, or loss of eligibility under another plan) allows you to make plan changes outside of Open Enrollment. If you experience this type of event during the year, you may modify your benefits within 30 days by notifying HR as soon as possible. Learn more.
Who is eligible for benefits?
Regular full-time employees are eligible to participate in the benefit plans.
Who are my legal dependents?
- Your legal spouse
- Your children (up to age 26) including natural, step, legally adopted/placed for adoption, and children for whom you serve as legal guardian
- Disabled dependent children (any age)
When does my coverage start?
Your coverage becomes effective on the first day of the month following 30 days from your date of hire.

Understanding Your Benefits
Highmark Medical Benefits
Plan: PPO Blue Sharing $3,000
Did you know?
- Preventive Services are covered at 100% in-network, and copays and deductibles do not apply.
- You pay less out of pocket if you receive care from an in-network provider.
- You do not need a referral to see a specialist.
Health Reimbursement Arrangement
What is a Health Reimbursement Arrangement? A Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA) is an employer-funded health benefit that reimburses employees for qualified medical expenses, including monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs, like copayments and deductibles. These reimbursements are typically tax-free for employees.
How does an HRA work? An HRA covers qualified out-of-pocket expenses for you, your spouse, and your tax dependents. Employees are responsible for all eligible deductible expenses up to the first $1,000 for a single and $2,000 per employee/child, employee/children, employee/spouse, and family. Your employer will then pay the remaining eligible deductible expenses through the HRA.

Dental
Plan: DentalGuard Preferred
Did You Know?
You have the freedom to select the dentist of your choice; however, when you visit a participating in-network dentist, you will have lower out-of-pocket costs, no balance billing, and claims will be submitted by your dentist on your behalf.
Pre-Treatment Estimate
If your dental care is extensive and you want to plan ahead for the cost, you can ask your dentist to submit a pre-treatment estimate. While it is not a guarantee of payment, a pre-treatment estimate can help you predict your out-of-pocket costs.
Vision
Plan: Full Feature - Designer (Davis Vision Network)
Eyes can give doctors a clear picture of overall wellness. That’s why vision care and benefits can help employees stay healthy. A comprehensive eye exam can detect early signs of serious health problems, such as:
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Glaucoma and cataracts
Flexible Spending Accounts
What is a Flexible Spending Account? A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is a tax-advantaged savings account that you can use to pay for qualified medical expenses, such as copays and medications. Contributions to FSAs aren’t subject to federal income tax if used for medical expenses, while Dependent Care FSAs can be used to pay for eligible care expenses, such as daycare and before/after-school programs. Unlike an HSA, you do not need to be enrolled in a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) to qualify for an FSA.
Do FSA funds expire? Unspent FSA funds typically don't roll over, meaning any funds not used by the end of the plan year will be lost.
Who is covered? An FSA covers qualified out-of-pocket expenses for you, your spouse, and your tax dependents.
Life and AD&D
Life insurance helps protect your family's finances by providing a death benefit if you pass away. This helps ensure that they'll be financially supported and can cover important things from bills to funeral costs.
If you are a Sepro America full-time employee working 40 hours per week and you have completed the new hire waiting period, you are eligible for a company-paid Life and AD&D benefit. If you need additional coverage, you may also enroll in Voluntary Life and AD&D.
Disability
Disability insurance covers a part of your income, so you can pay your bills if you're injured or sick and can't work. Many disabilities are caused by illness, including common conditions like heart disease and arthritis. However, most disabilities aren't covered by workers' compensation.
If you are a Sepro America full-time employee working 40 hours per week and you have completed a new hire waiting period, you are eligible for company-paid Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability coverage.
Accident
A serious injury can cost you a lot of money - not only in medical bills, but in things like income from lost work hours. If you get hurt, accident insurance pays you money that you can use to cover personal expenses, bills, and out-of-pocket medical costs.
Accident Insurance can pay a set benefit amount based on the type of injury you have and the type of treatment you need. It covers accidents that occur on and off the job, and it includes a range of incidents, from common injuries to more serious events.
Employee Assistance Program
