YGG has developed an extensive benefits package as part of our total compensation plan. This package includes medical, dental and life insurance plans, as well as long-term disability coverage, and AFLAC supplemental insurance plans. In addition, we offer paid vacation, personal, sick and holiday time; and a 401(k) plan.
YGG offers both medical (HMO or PPO plans) and dental (DMO or PPO plans) insurance and pays a substantial portion of the plans premiums. Spouse/domestic partner and dependent coverage is also available.
Our Flexible Spending Accounts allows employees to set aside pre-tax dollars in two ways:
We have a Fidelity 401(k) plan to help you save for your future. This plan allows contributions of part of your compensation on a pre- tax basis. This means you can reduce your current federal and state income taxes while investing in your future. In addition to this traditional option, we also offer a 401(k) Roth plan which will allow you to contribute a portion of your salary after taxes.
YGG pays 100% of the premium for a life insurance plan, which is equal to your annual salary. This policy also provides accidental death benefits and partial benefits in the event of an accidental loss of limb or eyesight. Additionally, you have the option to purchase added coverage for yourself, your spouse/domestic partner and your dependents.
YGG pays for 100% of your long-term disability insurance premium. This insurance begins on the 90th day of your disability. The coverage integrates with state disability, social security disability, or any other disability coverage you may have to provide you with 60% of your covered earnings (up to $10,000/month).
AFLAC will cover some of the gaps in your health insurance, such as co-payments and deductibles, as well as, the non-medical costs you may incur. These plans pay cash directly to you regardless of any other insurance you have.
These two plans are offered to employees to provide legal and identity protection. LegalShield, gives you access to a dedicated law firm where you can receive assistance with will preparation, contract review, moving traffic violations and more! Enrollment in IDShield provides you and your family identity, credit and social media monitoring to help protect you from identity theft.
