Benefits of Joining the SEL Family

We are always looking for ways to give you and your family greater peace of mind about your health care coverage. SEL offers you access to a statewide network of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers. When you are traveling or living out-of-state, you can rely on contracted providers across the nation—just like at home. Need to see a specialist? No referrals are necessary; our provider network includes a wide variety of specialists. Additional benefits include a 24-hour Nurse Line and mail-in pharmacy service for greater savings.

SEL’s vision insurance is purchased in conjunction with our health insurance plan and provides a yearly, routine eye exam and a yearly, hardware benefit.

Deciding to adopt a child requires careful planning, many considerations, and significant financial resources. SEL is proud to offer the Adoption Assistance Program, which provides reimbursement for eligible adoption expenses.

The Standard’s Group Life and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance products provide extra protection for employees and their families in the event of a covered accidental death or injury. You also have the option of purchasing additional life insurance for you and your family.

Long-term disability insurance provides employees with income protection against disabilities resulting from a covered physical disease, injury, pregnancy, or mental disorder.

We all experience times when we need help with life’s challenges. SEL understands this and provides this program to offer support, guidance, and resources to help you and your family resolve personal issues and address many of life’s challenges.

SEL recognizes that life can be hectic, and we encourage employees to take time to decompress, relax, and enjoy life, family, and friends. Because of this, we offer several types of leave options:

• Vacation
• Holiday pay
• Personal leave

To help with life's other challenges, we also provide additional leave, including:

• Sick leave
• Military duty
• Bereavement leave
• Family medical leave
• Shared leave

Since SEL is a 100% employee-owned company, U.S. employees participate in a stock-ownership plan. Our ESOP involves employees in the long-term company perspective and allows them to share in the many rights, risks, responsibilities, and rewards as company owners. Although we do not share the level of contribution or the history of our stock value until you are here working with us, we can say it is great!

Through a voluntary program, employees can use pretax dollars to pay for health-related expenses and dependent care costs that are not paid by a medical, dental, or vision plan.

Although SEL’s major retirement contribution is provided through its ESOP, the company also sponsors a 401K retirement plan to provide employees with additional flexibility in managing their retirement portfolio. Administered by SEL, the plan is an optional benefit. It allows you the opportunity to have your current 401K plan follow you to SEL! The choice is yours.

Never stop learning—that is our philosophy! We encourage and support our employees’ development through several benefits and programs.

• Education Assistance Contribution—We give all eligible, regular, full-time employees an extra $80 per month. You can use this money to expand or maintain your education, or put your monthly benefit aside and save for the course you’ve always wanted to take.
• Path to Your Future—Whether you are just starting on your career path or are a seasoned employee, SEL will help you get and stay on the path to higher education while you work. SEL will pay for part or all of your education as you work toward achieving the goals you’ve set for yourself.  
• Learning Fair 
• Lunch-and-Learn Opportunities 
• On-Site Computer Lab 

We are concerned about the financial security and personal well-being of our employees. As a result, SEL offers identity fraud expense reimbursement coverage to help cover expenses you may incur in re-establishing your credit and clearing your name should you find yourself a victim of identity theft.
