Benefits
That Go Above and Beyond

It is sometimes hard to enjoy what you do if you aren’t in the best health, but health insurance can be confusing, costly and overly complicated.  We can help with that!

• On site, low cost health care! Brubacher has a medical clinic at the main office in Bowmansville that is open to employees and their family members. The doctor handles all manner of acute health services, to DOT Physicals and drug screens, to wellness and chronic condition management services.
  
  
  • Plus, convenient hours (early morning, late night) mean you don’t have to  miss work to see the doctor.
• Want to look and feel your best, but don’t want to pay for a gym membership?  Use our fitness center.  Well-stocked with cardio and strength building equipment, the fitness center is free for employees and dependents age 12 and up.

We know the normal ups and downs of a construction work schedule can sometimes mean a shortage of income for employees. That’s why:

• Brubacher provides each hourly field employee with a pool of money to use during weeks when the employee works fewer than 40 hours.

And, Brubacher pays the full cost of medical insurance for employees who work fewer than 20 hours in a week during the first quarter each year.

Many construction companies expect workers who travel to distant job sites to do so at their own expense. Not Brubacher.

• Our hourly employees who travel more than 45 miles from their Brubacher office receive an additional $30 per day.

In addition, employees traveling to job sites more than 2 hours from their Brubacher office receive a per diem to assist with fuel and meal costs.

At Brubacher, we want our employees to have the opportunity to attend a college class, attain a college degree or complete a certificate program. That’s why:

• Our Tuition Reimbursement plan covers 75% of books, fees, etc. – up to $2,500 per year.
  
  
• We offer recent college grads up to $7,000 in tuition reimbursement over a 3-year period.
  
  
• Employees with a student load debt receive a 75% match for student loan payments, up to $2,500 per year for up to 3 years ($7,500 maximum assistance).

We understand that life can sometimes bring unexpected financial burdens. That’s why:

• Brubacher’s owners maintain a Benevolence Fund that provides up to $2,000 as a gift to employees who are experiencing an unexpected financial hardship.
  
  
  • We also work with employees who are experiencing a temporary hardship, but want to repay the financial assistance.

We know that sometimes life is hard, and you just need someone to talk to. That’s why:

• Brubacher offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to all of our employees and their eligible family members that provides counseling services if you need them, and covers the cost of the first five sessions for each family member.

Marriage is a lifelong adventure of growing together through every age and stage of life. Brubacher pays for employees and their spouse to attend this weekend retreat/seminar, designed to help couples grow closer together.

Brubacher provides employees with six paid holidays each year as well as paid vacation time. Vacation benefits are pro-rated in the first year and increase based on the employee’s length of time with Brubacher, up to 20 days per year.

Medical: Select from among three Aetna options the one that’s best for you. One of the plans has no payroll deductions!  Two of our plan options include a health savings account that provides pre-tax dollars that can be used to help pay for deductibles, co-pays and co-insurance costs.

Dental & Vision: Through Guardian and National Vision Administrators, employees may purchase dental and vision coverage. These plans pay 100% of covered services performed by participating providers and reimburse 100% of the allowable amount for services performed by non-participating providers.

Short-Term and Long-Term Disability: Brubacher provides our employees with short- and long-term disability coverage through Guardian Life Insurance Company. If you can’t work due to illness or non-work-related injury, the Short-Term plan pays a weekly benefit for up to 26 weeks. The Long-Term plan pays a weekly benefit for up to two years after Short Term Disability ends.

Life Insurance: We also provide employees with a $35,000 term accidental death and dismemberment policy. If you wish, you also may purchase additional policies through Guardian Life Insurance Company, such as supplemental term life, spouse term life, and dependent term life.
