Employee Benefits

C.L. Lewis & Co. has a group medical and dental insurance plan of which the company pays one-half of the total premium cost and you pay the other half.

The company participates in Section 125 Healthcare Plan whereby the premium you pay is deducted before taxes so you don’t pay federal or state taxes on your portion of the insurance premium.

You are eligible to participate after six months of active and continuous employment on the first day of the following month. You must apply for insurance within 30 days of eligibility.

Continuation of coverage benefits will also be offered to active participants as provided for by COBRA.

Disability Insurance

Disability Insurance is available to anyone wishing to participate through Aflac.
