Northwest Outdoor Science School Regular Employees

​

​How much will my benefits cost?
The ESD shall contribute $1448 per month (prorated by FTE) for all employees .5 FTE and above to an insurance pool to pay the premium costs of medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.  Employees who work less than 20 hours per week (=<.49 FTE) are not eligible for insurance benefits. 

The ESD shall contribute to the pool based on total FTE of regular Outdoor School Staff.  The pool funds shall be applied to the premium costs of medical, dental, and vision coverage according to the distribution outlined below:
  • Full-Time Employees whose FTE is .75 or more: Medical, Dental, and Vision premiums are covered in full. No out-of-pocket premiums for Emp Only, Emp+Sp, Emp+Kids, Emp+Family
  • Part-Time Employees whose  FTE is .50 - .74: your prorated district contribution will be applied to the cost of your Medical, Dental, and Vision premiums for Emp Only, Emp+Sp, Emp+Kids, Emp+Family. You are responsible to pay the difference.    For example: if your FTE is .5 you can apply  $724.00 to your premiums.
