Full-time employees are eligible immediately upon hire. Employees and dependents are eligible for healthcare benefits beginning with the first day of employment. Alcatel offers various coverage options dependent on the employee's place of residence. Vision coverage is provided under each of the individual medical plan options. Vision care includes eye exams for all options, and eyeglass frames and corrective lenses are covered under most plan options.
Dental coverage is provided to all employees under the healthcare plan.
Dental benefits cover preventive services such as checkups and cleanings, as well as restorative and major services. All dental options cover orthodontia. The Healthcare FSA and the Dependent Care FSA both allow you to contribute to the accounts with pre-tax dollars, and be reimbursed with these funds for appropriate expenses during the year. The EAP also provides Dependent Care Assistance to all participants. This service can assist with childcare, elder care or special needs services that an immediate family member may require.
