Benefits
Our health and wellness package has ranked in the top 25% of plans offered across the country for the last 5 years. Have a look at the details:
Medical/Dental/Vision Insurance
As an employee, you and your dependents* are eligible for medical, prescription drug, dental and vision insurance after just 30 days of employment. You can choose from several coverage options, offset by considerable employer premium contributions, to secure the coverage that is right for you and your family. We also provide a strategic partner who is available to help you navigate the healthcare world every step of the way, allowing you to achieve the best healthcare outcomes.
*Subject to a dependent eligibility verification and carve-out provision outlined in the benefits summary provided upon employment offer.
Health Spending Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
Our HSA and FSA tools allow you to set pre-tax money aside for medical and dependent care expenses.
Life and Disability Insurance
We provide life insurance, at no expense to you, as well as short-term and long-term disability insurance. To supplement the Basic Life Insurance benefit and take advantage of lower group rates, you can purchase additional Supplemental Life & AD&D Insurance protection for yourself, your spouse and your children.
Critical Illness, Accident Protection and Hospital Indemnity Insurance
We offer enrollment options for Critical Illness insurance to help our employees fill the gaps that medical insurance may not cover and assist with the financial burden of unexpected expenses that often come with the treatment of critical illnesses such as cancer, heart attack, and stroke. Accident Protection coverage will pay you a benefit based on injuries you or your family sustain and the various treatments or services received in the event that you fall victim to a covered accident. Finally, Hospital Indemnity coverage will pay a benefit for any hospital admission and days spent in the hospital for you or your family.
Identity Theft Protection
The world can be a scary place and we realize that sometimes thieves strike a little too close to home. You can help protect your family’s identity through our company-paid identity theft protection benefit.
Health Risk Assessments
We offer annual, on-site health risk assessments to all benefit-eligible office and shop employees. You’ll receive a detailed report from these confidential assessments consisting of a medical history questionnaire and biometric health screening, which include blood pressure, cholesterol screening, and body fat analysis. Combining this knowledge of your body with our wellness initiatives provides you with the tools to maintain or accomplish your health goals.
Wellness
One-on-one health coaching is available for employees and their spouses who wish to discuss a behavior-change action plan, assistance with condition or disease management, or need assistance in achieving their health goals.
We also offer Teladoc and on-site flu vaccinations or reimbursements annually to all office and shop employees.
Fitness
We have first-class fitness centers at the Fond du Lac, Appleton, and Milwaukee locations. Employees working in other offices are eligible for an annual wellness fund, to be used towards any single fitness membership or fitness classes.
At Ahern, we also encourage employees and their children to participate in sporting activities, and we help to sponsor teams by providing registration fees and uniforms.
Employee Assistance
Our Employee Assistance Program is designed to help employees deal with a variety of personal concerns and work/life issues. It is entirely confidential and available to you and members of your family at no cost.
401(k) Program and Financial Planning
We provide employees with one of the best matches in the industry. We also offer free financial planning services to all eligible office employees
In addition to these services, we offer a 529 college savings program to all eligible office employees as a way for you to be able to provide the benefits of higher education to your children, grandchildren nieces, nephews or even yourself.
Employee Incentive Fund
Ahern employees have enjoyed a history of receiving an annual bonus based on company, business unit and individual goals and performance.
Paid Time Off
We believe employees need to take time off to enjoy time with family and friends. There are typically eight paid holidays per year. Additionally, full-time employees are eligible for up to several weeks’ vacation depending on tenure with the company and may purchase up to one additional week of paid time off each year.
