SouthStar Benefits Package
An extensive and comprehensive benefits portfolio is available to full-time employees. Our objective is to help you grow professionally and personally, as well as enhance the quality of life for you and your family. This brief benefits outline is for general purposes only and is not intended to be a detailed explanation of benefits coverage under existing plans.
Work-LifeMatters ™ Employee Assistance Program
Our employee assistance program is available through The Guardian. Confidential counseling is provided in areas such as coping with grief, parenting, adoption, child care, adult dependent care, college planning, relocation and many other life-changing events.
Educational Assistance
If you are a full-time employee with six months of service, you may be eligible to receive tuition reimbursement for continuing education through an accredited program that offers growth in an area related to your position or enhances your potential for advancement in the company.
Retirement Savings Plan
We understand how important it is for you to save for your future. The 401(k) plan is available to you for participation after 30 days of employment. The company matches 100% on the first 5% of your contributions and you will become vested in the company’s matching portion after five years of service.
Vacation
You may be eligible for 10 days of vacation annually after one year of service. Your vacation allotment increases as your service tenure with the company reaches key milestones. Because your vacation needs can vary from year to year, employees have the option to purchase up to 40 hours additional vacation time each year during open enrollment.
Holidays
We offer 11 paid holidays per year, including 3 "floating" holidays.
Medical & Dental
Choice and an extensive provider network are important when considering the right medical plan for you and/or your family. That is why we offer two premium healthcare plans, providing you the choice between an HMO or PPO through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia and The Guardian. The company pays for the majority of your medical premium, and the employee contribution varies depending on plan selection and number of dependents covered under the plan.
Your dental benefits go beyond standard cleanings. In addition to maintenance, coverage for basic and major dental services is provided under the plan. Your medical/dental benefits are effective the second day of employment.
Prescription Drugs
Our prescription drug plan provides access to affordable prescription drugs. Generic brands are available through the plan at a nominal fee, while the cost of brand name drugs has been capped at a slightly higher amount. Mail order and bulk prescriptions are also available under the plan.
