Dear Ben:


Sprague is delighted to offer you the full-time position of Chief Information Officer and Vice President, reporting to Dave Glendon, President and CEO, starting on or about July 1, 2021.  Your salary will be $5,096.16 per week, which equates to $265,000.32 annually.  You will be paid on a weekly basis.  Sprague’s workweek begins on Monday and ends on Sunday.  Payday is the Thursday following the close of the workweek.


Per the attached Synopsis of Benefits, Sprague offers a comprehensive benefits package.  You are eligible to participate in Sprague’s medical, dental and retirement benefits on the first day of employment; eligibility for all other employee benefits afforded to Sprague employees shall be in accordance with the terms of the respective plans.  


You are eligible to participate in Sprague’s discretionary incentive compensation program.  Your target annual incentive compensation opportunity is equal to 100% of your base salary, 25% of which is deferred and paid over three (3) successive years.  Under this program, the level of actual payouts will be determined based on overall company and individual performance. Incentive compensation payouts, if earned, typically are made in March or April of the following year and are prorated as of start date.  Your time spent as a contractor in 2021 will be considered, resulting in your payout being prorated 75%.  Sprague reserves the right to change the incentive compensation program at any time.


Included in your offer, you will receive relocation assistance for the transportation of all normal/reasonable household goods.  Details can be arranged through Lauren Brassill in Human Resources. 


As a Sprague employee, you accrue vacation at the rate of 3.08 hours per week, equivalent to 160 hours annually. For 2021, your vacation time will be pro-rated as of your start date. Future vacation will be earned as defined in the Sprague Vacation Policy. You will also be eligible for the remaining 2021 designated holidays in accordance with Sprague’s holiday schedule.


This offer is made subject to agreement to abide by all of Sprague’s Policies and Procedures and successful results from a pre-employment drug screen.   Following acceptance, you will be provided instructions on how to complete the drug screen.
