Fringe Benefits

The fringe benefits offered to State of Wisconsin employees are
significant, and are a valuable part of an individual's compensation
package. 

Retirement: Employees are covered immediately under the Wisconsin
Retirement System. Vested employee-required contributions, approximately
5% of an employee's earnings, are made by the State on behalf of the
employee. The State pays another 5-10%, depending upon the employee's
occupational status, toward the non-vested employer-required
contribution. 

Vacation: Vacation is earned from the first day of employment, but
cannot be used until the employee has worked for six months. Depending
on the employee's number of years of state service and their bargaining
unit, employees earn between 80 and 216 hours of vacation per year.
Vacation hours are prorated for employees working less than full time. 

Personal Holidays: Employees are granted 36 hours (4 1/2 days) of
personal holiday each year. 

Legal Holidays: Employees have 9 legal holidays per year: 

January 1 (New Years Day), Third Monday of January (Martin Luther King
Day), Last Monday of May (Memorial Day), July 4 (Independence Day),
First Monday of September (Labor Day), Fourth Thursday of November
Thanksgiving Day), December 24 (Christmas Eve), December 25 (Christmas
Day), December 31 (New Years Eve) 

Sick Leave: Sick leave is earned at the rate of 5 hours per bi-weekly
pay period for full-time employees. Unused sick leave accumulates from
year to year. Upon retirement, the State matches a certain amount of the
unused sick leave, and the entire balance is converted at the employee's
highest rate of pay prior to retirement to pay health insurance
premiums. 

Health Insurance: A variety of Health Maintenance Organizations,
Preferred Provider Plans, and fee-for-service health providers offer
coverage. Employees may obtain coverage within one month of starting
work, but the State contribution toward premium is not effective until
after 6 months of State employment under the Wisconsin Retirement
System. A separate drug plan covers all employees who elect to purchase
health insurance. 

Dental Insurance: Some dental coverage is included in many of the group
health insurance plans and the catastrophic insurance plan. Many unions
offer separate dental coverage to their membership. 

Life Insurance: After 6 months of coverage under the Wisconsin
Retirement System, an employee may have group term life insurance
coverage in an amount up to 5 times his or her annual salary. The State
contributes approximately 30% of the premium toward 2 of the 5 levels of
coverage; however, the premiums for the remaining 3 levels of coverage
are paid totally by the employee. Employees may also secure coverage for
their spouse (up to $20,000) and dependents (up to $10,000 each). 

Income Continuation Insurance: After 6 months of coverage in the
Wisconsin Retirement System, employees are eligible for income
continuation insurance. This benefit ensures that individuals will
receive up to 75% of their gross salary for physical or mental
disabilities. State contribution, which can range from 0% to 100%, is
contingent upon an employee's accrual and use of sick leave. 

Catastrophic Insurance: Major medical, accidental death and
dismemberment, and dental coverage are features of this insurance.
Employees are responsible for the entire premium. 

Vision Insurance: Some vision coverage is included in many of the group
health insurance plans. Employees may purchase additional coverage and
are responsible for the entire premium. 

Long-Term Care Insurance: This insurance covers short-term and long-term
home health care, assisted living, community-based care, and nursing
home care. The plan is available only to State employees and annuitants,
including their spouse, parents, and spouse's parents. Employees pay the
full premium. 

Employee Reimbursement Account Program: The Employee Reimbursement
Accounts Program allows employees to pay eligible medical and dependent
care expenses from pre-tax rather than post-tax income. In addition,
premiums for State group health, catastrophic, and life insurance
(excluding spouse and dependent life insurance coverage) may be treated
as pre-tax deductions. 

Deferred Compensation: The Deferred Compensation Program allows
employees to invest pre-tax earnings up to 25% of adjusted gross income
or $8,000, whichever is less, in any of the investment options offered
by the program. 

Workers Compensation: All employees are covered by the State of
Wisconsin Worker's Compensation Law the day they start employment. The
law covers both mental and physical harm from either accidents or
occupational diseases.
