PacificSource Medical/Vision Plan – OMRI covers 100% of employee premium and 50% of dependent coverage premium

• OMRI will pay the health and dental insurance premiums under the same terms for an employee who is out on protected family or medical leave as we would pay if the employee was working their normal schedule (i.e., full premium for full time employees, pre-tax premium for dependents, etc.).
• Employees leaving OMRI have the option of continuing insurance coverage at their own expense (i.e., the employee pays the full premium) for up to 18 months.

Dental Insurance:

• OMRI offers employees a choice between two dental plans through Moda. Employee premiums for either plan are paid 100% by OMRI, and dependent coverage premiums for either plan are paid 50% by OMRI. For both choices, you can choose to add your dependents to the plan as well. You can choose to do this even if you do not add your dependents to the PacificSource health care plan. 
• The full premium for qualified dependents will be deducted on a monthly basis, pre-tax, from your paycheck. Premium costs for 2025 are:

They will pay 100% of the cost for preventative services (twice yearly exams and x-rays, cleanings, space maintainers, fluoride treatment, etc.), and 80% of the cost for basic services (fillings, oral surgery, treatment of diseased or damaged teeth or gums), and 50% of the cost for major services (implants, crowns, dentures, and bridges). You may choose from a network of dentists around the region.

Willamette Dental Group: This plan requires you to use a dentist in Willamette Dental Group (only employees in Oregon, Washington, or Idaho are eligible). It has no maximum benefit, and no deductible. Preventative services are 100% covered.

Life Insurance:

Employees who work at least 30 hours a week will receive a $50,000 life insurance policy through MetLife, with the premium entirely paid by OMRI. This policy also includes a $50,000 Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance.

Short Term Disability Insurance:

Employees who work at least 30 hours a week will receive Short Term Disability insurance through MetLife, with the premium entirely paid by OMRI. Short term disability insurance provides a weekly benefit equal to 60% of salary, to a maximum of $1,000 per week. You are considered disabled if you have an illness or injury that limits you from performing your regular occupation, and are under the care of a physician for that illness or injury. For an injury or illness, benefits would begin after a 7 day waiting period for eligibility. Benefits can last up to 12 weeks, or until your doctor determines you are able to return to work, whichever is sooner.

Giving birth is considered a short term disability in most cases; however, for most births without complications, the mother is considered medically able to work much sooner than the full 12 weeks, and thus the benefit only covers that period of time where her doctor says she is unable to work (perhaps 4-6 weeks, though dependent on the specific situation).

Long Term Disability Insurance:

Employees who work at least 30 hours a week will receive Long Term Disability insurance through MetLife, with the premium entirely paid by OMRI. You are considered disabled if you are unable to perform the duties of your position due to illness or injury. You may receive 60% of your monthly income, up to $6,000, after the end of the elimination period of 90 days. Long Term and Short Term disability are designed to work together; if you become ill or injured, you first receive short term disability, and if you are still unable to work when that runs out, you shift to long term disability.

Employee Assistance Program:

Through MetLife, OMRI staff have access to an Employee Assistance Program. This program provides counseling and advice to help you maintain a strong life work balance and deal with personal issues that may arise, such as recommendations for child and eldercare services, financial advice, relationship problems, depression, grief and attorney referrals and legal consultations. Through MetLife, Will preparation services are also provided. 

Retirement:

OMRI offers a retirement benefit through a 401(k) plan, administered by Aspasia Wealth Management. OMRI automatically contributes 3% earnings for all regular (part-time and full-time) employees, regardless of the employee contribution. Employees may, but are not required to, put a dollar amount or percentage of their salaries into the account, up to $23,500 per year. Employees 50 years or older can make additional catch-up contributions up to $7,500. A higher catch-up contribution limit applies to employees aged 60-63, who can contribute an additional $11,250.  Eligibility starts on the first day of the month following the employee’s hire. There is no vesting period; when an employee leaves OMRI, the full amount that OMRI has contributed to the account remains in the account, regardless of the length of tenure with OMRI.

Transportation:

OMRI currently offers the following transportation benefits:

• Free bus passes for employees who work in the OMRI office 3 or more days a week

Flexible schedules are subject to approval.
