Watson Electrical ELECTRICAL > WATSON ENERGY > LOGIN Ope Menu Benefits At Watson Electrical it is our goal to provide our employees with great options for their benefits. We provide health, dental, and vision coverage. As well as short and long term disability coverage. We have several savings plans including a 401k and a Christmas Club. Our benefits offerings are reviewed annually and adjustments made to ensure that we are offering the best benefits available. Each year open enrollment generally occurs towards the end of October and runs through the first part of November. Changes to your benefits must occur during this time unless you have a qualifying life event. To receive benefits you must be a qualified eligible employee. If you are not sure of your eligibility, contact Human Resources at 252-237-7511. Direct Deposit of Payroll All employees are required to participate in the direct deposit payroll benefit. Health, Vision & Dental Insurance Our health plan is offered through Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina (BCBSNC). After hours or urgent care can be very expensive. This is why we are utilizing the new MDLIVE (telehealth) offered by BCBSNC. This is a board-certified doctor you can see via a secure online video chat platform. You can see this doctor from anywhere you have a video internet connection and at any time of the day or night. They can even send your pharmacy prescriptions. This is great for minor health problems like getting a sore throat, the flu, ear problems, pin eye, sinus problems, and so much more. Dental preventive services are covered 100% and other services are covered with coinsurance. Vision insurance covers the exam, frames, lens and even contact lens. Wellness Incentive Program Each quarter we hold wellness challenges to encourage employees to proactively manage their health. Then, when the challenge is over, winners will be selected from the employees who have met the challenge and will receive great prizes. One of the prizes we have given has been a Yetti cooler. Holidays We have seven paid holidays throughout the year. New Years Day Independence Day Memorial Day Labor Day Thanksgiving Day Christmas Eve Christmas Day 401(k) Plan Our 401k plan is managed through BB&T and is an employee contributed plan. However, the company does have some contribution matching. Employee Assistance Program (EAP) The EAP benefit is for personal and/or professional concerns. It helps by providing a network of counselors that are local to you. Some of the areas EAP can assist with are family conflict, relationship issues, grief and loss, stress, depression and anxiety, as well as alcohol or drug use. Short Term Disability Insurance Weekly benefits paid directly to you when you are out of work due to an illness or injury. This benefit pays 60% of your pre-disability earnings and can run for up to 25 weeks, depending on the coverage you select. Long Term Disability Insurance This benefit doesn't start until the 26th week of being out of work or at the end of your short term disability insurance if you have that coverage. This benefit pays 60% of your pre-disability earnings and can run for up to 24 months. Veterans Administration Benefits As part of our apprentice program, if you qualify, you could use your GI Bill and get paid from Watson Electrical to learn the electrical trade.
