Health Benefits

Under the State Health Benefit Plan, employees may choose single or family coverage  in one of several Preferred Provider Organizations (PPO's),   HMO's (where available), or an indemnity plan. Each plan offers a full range of benefits, including prescription drug coverage. GRN CSB pays approximately 75% of the cost of the health plans. Employee costs will depend on the coverage and  options chosen.

Retirement/Deferred Compensation Program

Employees who work at least 1000 hours per year participate in the Employees' Qualified Trust (401k) IRS qualified retirement deferred compensation plan. GRN contributes 7.5% of each employee's salary into the 401k plan. Employees may also contribute via payroll deduction up to the maximum allowed under IRS regulations. GRN employees participate in the 401k plan in lieu of the Social Security retirement program. They do continue to pay for the Medicare portion of Social Security via mandatory payroll deduction.

Employees are fully vested for the employer portion of 401k contributions after 6 years of employment, with partial vestment on a percentage basis after 2 years.

For detailed information on the Deferred Compensation Program, refer to the web site for Peach State Reserves:  www.ersga.org .

GRN CSB offers paid leave to salaried employees. Leave is accrued each pay period.

Vacation Leave

Full-time employees accrue annual leave hours based on years of continuous service:

 

Sick Leave:

Accrual for full-time employees is at the rate of 5 hours per semi-monthly pay period regardless of years of service. After 120 hours have been accrued, up to 24 sick leave hours per year may be transferred to personal leave.

Employees are provided with 12 paid holidays per year according the the holiday schedule established each year by the Governor.

Part-time salaried employees working 20-39 hours per week earn pro-rated sick, annual, and holiday leave.
