Saia delivers a total compensation package that provides significant value to employees. It is designed to provide competitive compensation and benefits for you to meet your current financial needs, provide protection for you and your family should something unforeseen happen, and help you reach your long-term financial goals.

Total compensation, also referred to as a “hidden paycheck,” consists of compensation/pay, plus applicable overtime for work performed and benefits including:

• Medical coverage with prescription and vision components
• Company-paid life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance
• Company-paid disability coverage
• Vacation pay
• Holiday pay
• Sick/Personal time pay
• Matching 401(k) retirement savings of 50 percent up to 6 percent of your annual gross income

Saia continues to offer a valuable medical plan to employees and has not raised premiums over the last few years. The majority of the total cost of our medical plan is paid for by Saia, with eligible employees with 10 years or more of service receiving free medical, regardless of their level of coverage.

The following preventive measures may be used to assist Saia in keeping medical costs low:

• Always use in-network UnitedHealthcare doctors for services
• When filling prescriptions, ask your doctor for generics
• Remember to schedule an annual wellness appointment

To view your total compensation statement outlining your compensation and benefits, please log into the EIC and click on the “Total Compensation Statement” link under “Payroll Information.” There, you can review the amounts Saia contributes to your total compensation to understand the true value of your benefits package.

Are you saving for your future? If not, now is the time to act! Saia matches 50 percent of each pre-tax dollar you contribute on the first 6 percent of pay that you defer to your 401(k) retirement savings plan.  

Be sure to take advantage of this pre-tax benefit and consider increasing your contribution to 6 percent or more. Investing in your future with a 50 percent match up to the first 6 percent is like getting “free” money!
