HEALTH INSURANCE:
Group Hospitalization Insurance Plan: Group hospitalization insurance
coverage is provided for full-time employees and their families after
completion of the 90 day probationary period.
  • Premium for the employee is paid IN FULL by the hospital
  • Family coverage is optional and is paid for by the employee by payroll
    deduction

LIFE INSURANCE:
Life, Accidental Death, Dismemberment and Loss of Sight Insurance
coverage is provided to regular, full-time employees as a part of the total
insurance plan. The amount of life insurance is limited to the next even
thousand dollars about the annual salary of the individual employee. The
hospital pays the full cost of the premium for the employee. Additional
coverage may be purchased at a nominal cost to the employee.

RETIREMENT PLAN:
Employees are eligible for a retirement plan with the Texas County and District
Retirement System
. This plan is similar to the State Retirement Benefit Plan.
Upon employment, eligible employees automatically become a participant in
the retirement system. It is mandatory that all employees participate in this
retirement plan. Five percent (5%) of eligible employee’s gross pay will be
deducted each payday matched by
Wilbarger General Hospital and deposited
into the employee’s retirement account. In the event of termination, if you are
vested, you may retain your right to future retirement benefits. You may also
choose to withdraw your money. If you wish to withdraw your savings, please
talk to your investment counselor or our Human Resource representative to
discuss your benefits.
  PHARMACY PLAN:
Wilbarger General Hospital has a full time pharmacist that is able to fill your
prescriptions here at the hospital.
We do not have a “pharmacy card”, but you may get your prescriptive
medications at the rate of cost plus 10%. This is equal to most pharmacy card
plans and cost may be payroll deducted.
 
DENTAL INSURANCE:
Wilbarger General Hospital does not provide dental insurance, but does
make this insurance available through payroll deduction. This program will be
explained to you during orientation and is available to you and your family.

EMPLOYEE HEALTH PROGRAM:
Employee fitness for duty is performed in the Physical Therapy Department
and is called
WORK STEPS. This is a physical assessment of your physical
ability to perform specific physical activities required by your job.

YOU MUST PASS THE
WORK STEPS EXAM TO QUALIFY FOR EMPLOYMENT.

Drug screening and drug testing may be performed at the discretion of your
employer and is requested on a “for cause” basis.
