Employees are eligible to participate in this plan from the first day of employment.

Mission Square Retirement (formerly ICMA-RC) and Kentucky Deferred Comp IRAs

On each December 1, employees are granted seven (7) Personal Days for use for any reason during the 12-month period ending the next November 30. When used, employees must notify their supervisor in advance. Unused hours will be paid to you in December. New employees receive a prorated amount of Personal Days, after 30 days of employment, for the balance of the twelve (12) month period ending November 30. Upon termination, employees will either be paid for the excess personal days earned over those used or will owe MSD the excess of personal days used over personal days earned. (Personal days earned is determined by proration over a twelve (12) month period.)

Holidays

An annual schedule of MSD’s twelve (12) paid holidays is posted each January. (Refer to Policies and Benefits Manual for complete listing.)

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)

MSD offers two flexible spending accounts that allow employees to pay for certain dependent day care and health care expenses with pre-tax earnings. The dependent day care account may be used to pay for child care providers, day care facilities and certain other expenses related to the care of an employee's dependent children while he or she is at work. It may also be used to pay for care provided to an individual with a physical or mental handicap who is the employee's dependent, regardless of age. The health care account may be used to pay for IRS-allowable medical, dental, or vision expenses that are not covered by a health insurance policy. Employees are eligible to participate in this plan 30 days after date of hire.

Health Savings Account (HSA)

MSD offers a health savings account to coincide with the medical High Deductible Plan (HDHP).

The HSA may be used to pay for IRS-allowable medical, dental, or vision expenses that are not covered by a health insurance policy. Employees are eligible to participate in this plan 30 days after date of hire.

Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA)

The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) entitles qualified employees up to twelve (12) weeks of unpaid leave per 12-month rolling period for the birth or adoption of a child, placement of a child for foster care, to care for a spouse or an immediate family member with a serious health problem or a serious health condition of the employee. The full text version of MSD’s Family and Medical Leave is available in the Employee Policy Manual.

Paid Parental Leave (PPL)
