Benefit Details . U.S. Employees

Seaboard’s medical health care plan provides benefits through a PPO Plan that is tied to a Preferred Provider Network under the carrier of Blue Cross Blue Shield (Seaboard Plan). For this plan, the employee pays a portion of the monthly premium towards single or family coverage (family means the employee plus his/her eligible dependents). Under this plan, employees and their dependents may visit any doctor they wish.

Benefits offered by Blue Cross Blue Shield include specialist care, hospitalization, prescription drugs plan, home health care, preventive care, emergency services and vision care, among others.

Blue Cross Blue Shield’s website allows employees to track their medical and dental claims (if applicable) when the deductibles are met, and even sign up for free health programs (myhealthtoolkitkc.com).

The Seaboard Dental Plan (PPO) offers the employee the option of visiting any dentist of his/her preference for a low monthly premium for single coverage or family coverage (the employee plus his/her eligible dependents). There is a minimal annual deductible. Coverage ranges between 60% and 80% depending on the type of service and the employee may be subject to usual and customary charges.

As of an employee’s date of hire, they will be automatically covered under our basic life insurance plan with Lincoln Financial. The coverage is equal to two times the employee’s base annual salary. (i.e., $40,000 base annual salary means an employee would be insured for $80,000). This premium is fully paid by the company.”.

As of an employee’s date of hire, they are automatically covered under our Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance. This insurance coverage will be two times the base earnings, rounded to the next lower $1,000. Premiums are fully paid by the company.

This plan, with Zurich Insurance Company, pays benefits in case of accidental death while an employee is traveling on company business equal to four times your base annual salary.

The Tax Savings Plan, also known as the Flexible Spending Account (FSA), allows employees to redirect certain allowable expenses incurred, and pay for them with tax-free money. The FSA can provide significant tax savings for expenses incurred in:

  • copayments for doctors/specialist visits
  • prescriptions
  • eyeglasses/lenses
  • daycare expenses that include before and after school care for children

Full time, regular employees are covered under STD benefit for personal medical conditions in which they become disabled for a period of less than three (3) months.

Our Group Long Term Disability Insurance Plan has been specially designed to provide monthly benefits when an employee is disabled and prevented from performing the regular duties of their job as a result of a covered accident or sickness. Coverage is based on an employee’s years of service and begins automatically after completing one year of service, providing benefits for disabilities lasting beyond 90 days.

Upon their hire date, employees are eligible to enroll in this plan. Seaboard Marine offers a matching contribution where for every dollar saved, the company matches 100% on the first 3% and 50% on the next 2% of an employee’s annual salary. Administered by Merrill Lynch, these funds are professionally managed and invested according to the employee’s direction among various investment options.

Merrill Lynch also offers a ROTH 401(k) option, which is an after-tax contribution that allows for earnings on Roth contributions to be tax free as long as the distribution is made at least 5 years after the first Roth contribution is made and the age of 59 ½ has been reached.
