HEALTH PLANS COMING SOON!
Employees must enroll between December 15, 2014 and January 13, 2015
In keeping with our commitment to compliance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA/"Obamacare") BOLT will soon be offering two health plans for you to choose from. The first is called the Essential StaffCARE (ESE). It will cost $19.98 per week for the employee. There will be more details coming about costs for covering families, but we'll keep it simple here so you can compare basics. The other plan is called Minimum Essential Care (MEC). It costs $72.79 per month for the employee. Cost-wise, both are very nearly equal, about $86 per month for the ESE, which is billed weekly, and $72.79 for the MEC which is billed monthly. There is a substantial difference in coverage, however. The ESE offers: - Doctor visits, x-rays, ER visits, hospitalization,
- Pharmacy benefits, etc.,
- plus (optional) Vision, Dental, & Life Insurance
- No copays or deductibles
The MEC offers: - Wellness checkups/preventative care only
- No copays or deductibles
You may choose either plan or neither. The MEC is "ACA-approved" while the ESE is "excepted". We will have more information coming about what that means. For now the important point is that you begin to prepare to make a good decision for your healthcare by January 13, 2015. Finally, be sure that you actually need coverage from BOLT. For example, often our employees are covered by a spouse's plan. Keep your eyes open for more information.

Savvy Employer?
Julia just relocated from Chicago. For some reason she thinks she's found paradise in Sonoma's wine country! She understands that there aren't many major TV outlets in the Valley, but she is open to applying her extraordinary background in television, research and public presentation on behalf of local companies who can use the talents of an experienced professional used to the pressures of media production as well as the demands for accuracy and diplomacy. She has a marvelous British accent to boot!
She is also open to working remotely.
