Total Compensation Statement – Employee Compensation
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 insurance and accidental death and dismemberment coverage
- Company-paid disability
- Vacation pay
- Holiday pay
- Sick/personal time pay
- Matching 401(k) retirement savings of 50% up to 6% of your annual gross income
Saia continues to offer a valuable medical plan to employees and has not raised premiums over the last several years. The majority of the total cost of medical 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 United Healthcare doctors for services
- When filling prescriptions, ask your doctor for generics
- Remember to have your annual wellness exam
Shortly, you should be receiving your “Total Compensation Statement,” available electronically on the Employee Information Center. In it, you will see it your compensation and benefits. Please review the amounts Saia contributes to your total compensation to understand the true value of your benefits package.
