We are proud to extend the following benefits to our full-time employees on the first of the month following 90 days of employment. They often say, though, that making a difference in the lives of others and loving what they do is the best benefit of all!

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

The unique philosophy of Neibauer Dental Care provides the opportunity for employees to embrace the Corporation as their “own business.” The ESOP plan ensures that through longevity and personal commitment, employees own a portion of the business. All full-time employees at least 21 years of age will automatically be enrolled in the ESOP program. Eligible employees receive shares of the corporation based on tenure and job performance. NDC is fully invested in itself; therefore, as the business grows and prospers the value of the shares increase. Employees begin vesting in 20% increments after the first full year of employment and continue to vest in 20% increments each year until fully vested at the end of year (6). NDC shares have more than tripled over the past (3) years.

Aetna Medical

Two plans are currently available to all full-time employees—a PPO and an Open Access HMO. Employees are eligible to participate effective the first of the month following the 90-day probationary period. Coverage is available for employee only, employee & spouse, employee & children and family. All premiums are deducted on a pre-tax basis each pay period, which equates to (26) times a year.

Internal Dental Policy

An internal dental plan is available to all full-time employees. Employees and immediate family receive (2) cleanings a year at no cost. Employees are eligible for $2500 of restorative coverage for the first 12 months and $3500 of restorative after the completion of 12 months of consecutive employment. Immediate family will receive a 30% discount for all restorative services and extended family is eligible for 15% discount for all dental services.

Flexible Spending Accounts

Flexible spending accounts are intended to shelter tax dollars to pay for medical and daycare expenses. Most over the counter medications and medical supplies are covered expenses, as well. Employees are eligible to put up to $3,000 in a medical account and up to $5,000 in a dependent care account. IRS guidelines do require that all money set aside must be used within the calendar year in which it was deducted; otherwise, unclaimed monies will be forfeited.

AFLAC – Short Term Disability Coverage

Short term disability coverage is intended to supplement income in the event of an unexpected illness, injury and for maternity leave. Benefits for short term disability coverage through AFLAC are available at the employee’s full cost and are deducted from the employee’s payroll in “after tax” dollars each pay period.

Paid Time Off (PTO)

PTO is earned on a bi-weekly basis and reflected on the employee’s payroll check. Employees will earn a maximum of (80) hours per year and accrual begins the first of the month following the 90-day probationary period.
