Avoid Double Deductions; Enroll As Soon As You Can

As a new employee at Parkland, you are eligible for certain benefits from your date of hire as explained in Eligibility. Payroll deductions to pay for benefits will start after you enroll. If you don’t complete your enrollment until after we process your first paycheck, Parkland will deduct your first payment retroactively (plus the current payment). You might see a double deduction after the pay period in which you enroll. Enroll as soon as you can. Doing so may eliminate the chance of a double deduction from your second paycheck to pay for your benefits.

For example, you start work at Parkland on the day before the payroll period ends. Eligibility for medical/pharmacy benefits, the health savings account, the MetLife voluntary benefits, pet insurance and the legal program begins on your date of hire. During the second payroll period (but within your 30-day enrollment window), you enroll for the PPO in the PEHP for yourself only. Parkland will take from your second paycheck two deductions to cover the medical/pharmacy benefits. For subsequent pay periods, you will pay only one deduction.

Covering Your Spouse

If your spouse has access to health care coverage through his/her own employer, you will pay a surcharge to cover them under the PEHP. The surcharge will be $75 per pay period. Watch your mailbox for a packet containing next steps on the Working Spouse Health Coverage verification process. Failure to complete the verification process by the deadline means Parkland will apply the surcharge. You must repeat this process every year.

Salary Increases

Note: If your salary increases between Open Enrollment and Jan. 1, 2024, the increase may move you into a higher benefit premium salary tier than what you are in during Open Enrollment. This situation especially applies if your current salary level is close to the top of one of the salary tiers.

Supplemental Life Insurance costs for you and your spouse are based on the amount of coverage you select as well as your age and your spouse’s age.

AgeBiweekly Rate Per $1,000 for YouBiweekly Rate Per $1,000 for Your Spouse
Less than 25$0.013$0.023
25–29$0.016$0.028

60–64$0.176$0.305
65–69$0.339$0.586
70+$0.551$0.951

Follow these steps to determine costs for your coverage amount:

  1. Amount of insurance desired ÷ $1,000 = Units of coverage
  2. Units of coverage times cost (from chart above) = Biweekly cost

Here’s an example. You are 35 years old and want to elect $100,000 in Supplemental Life Insurance coverage for yourself only.

  1. $100,000 ÷ $1,000 = 100
  2. 100 x $0.023 = $2.30 biweekly deduction (you will pay this amount each pay period)

For Your Children (up to age 26)

You pay one rate that covers all of your eligible children.
