Benefits

Employees have the option of selecting coverage for employee only, for employee and spouse/same sex partner, employee and dependent child/ren*, or employee and family (eligible dependents). The company pays a substantial portion of the cost of employees' health and welfare benefits. Employee premiums are payroll deducted bi-weekly. (*Eligible dependents to age 26.)

Different levels of coverage are represented by different options within each plan:

• Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs) and high deductible health plans (known as Personal Health Account Plans) that allow access to a Health Savings Account are available in most locations.
• Managed Health Care Organization(s) (HMO, POS and EPO), or
• No coverage with proof of coverage elsewhere

Health Savings Accounts allow employees who are enrolled in one of the Personal Health Account plans to set aside pre-tax dollars to cover out of pocket medical expenses. Whatever is not used in the calendar year can roll over to the next year. The Health Savings Account is limited to an annual contribution.

Flexible Spending accounts allow employees to pay for certain health care and dependent care expenses with before-tax dollars. They reduce taxable income, so they save employees money. Employees may enroll in the following two flexible reimbursement accounts:

• Health Care FSA
  (may contribute a minimum of $100 up to a maximum of $2,500 pre-tax dollars)
• Dependent Day Care FSA
  (may contribute a minimum of $100 up to a maximum of $5,000 pre-tax dollars)

The Dental plan provides various levels of coverage for preventive and restorative services.

The Vision plan provides various levels of coverage for eye examinations, lenses, frames and contact lenses, as well as discounts on laser surgery.

Short-Term Disability

(STD) General Dynamics C4 Systems provides eligible employees with a Short-Term Disability (STD) plan. The STD plan pays benefits only for approved absences related to the employee's own illness (e.g., the plan does not pay for benefits for absences related to dependents' illnesses.)

Long-Term Disability (LTD)

When an employee cannot work for an extended period due to serious illness or injury, LTD coverage works with social security and other benefits to replace a percentage of the employee's pay. LTD coverage may be purchased at a level of coverage equal to 60% of employee's monthly pay. General Dynamics C4 Systems will cover the full cost of the 50% LTD option. An employee must be totally disabled over a 26-week period to qualify for benefits.

Basic Life

General Dynamics C4 Systems provides employees with basic life insurance coverage in the amount equivalent to 1 times annual salary.

Basic Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance

General Dynamics C4 Systems provides employees with basic AD&D insurance coverage in the amount equal to 1 times annual salary.

Supplemental Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment

Employees may elect to purchase additional life insurance and AD&D insurance for themselves, their spouse and their dependent child/ren at group rates. Evidence of Insurability (EOI) for employee and/or spouse may be required at some levels of coverage.

General Dynamics C4 Systems will observe seven (7) company holidays. In addition, up to three (3) holidays will be available as personal floating holidays depending on date of hire. Employees may take this to observe a religious or patriotic holiday of their choosing or for other personal reasons. Certain restrictions apply per policy.

General Dynamics C4 Systems provides the opportunity for employees who meet certain qualifications to receive reimbursement for tuition and certain other expenses associated with approved educational programs.

Full-time or part-time (minimum of 20 hours per week) salaried employees are eligible for paid time off based on length of accredited service with the company. For full-time and part-time employees, including employees who share a job with another employee, the amount of PTO is based on regularly scheduled work hours. Employees less than five (5) years of service are eligible for 120 hours of PTO.

Eligibility

The amount of PTO is based on an employee's completed years of accredited service in the current plan year in accordance with the PTO Policy.

Newly hired employees will accrue PTO at a rate of 4.62 hours bi-weekly (120 hours divided by 26 pay periods).

Rehired employees will accrue PTO at the same rate as a new hire unless and until their previous General Dynamics service is bridged. If prior service credit is granted, PTO eligibility will then be based on the employee's total credited service years. If, when the bridged service date is applied, the employee is then eligible for an increase in the PTO accrual rate, the accrual of PTO hours will begin at the new rate as of the date the service adjustment is effective. An increase in PTO accrual is not retroactive to the rehire date.

General Dynamics C4 Systems is committed to policies that provide flexible work arrangements to meet the requirements of a diverse workforce.

A flexible arrangement permits employees, with their supervisor's advance approval, to arrange their work schedules around a set of "core" hours, while maintaining the usual number of working hours each day.

Telecommuting is another alternative work arrangement that allows all full-time and part-time employees to work at home, at a satellite office, or at another remote location(s), for all or part of the work week, with their supervisor's prior approval.

These reimbursement amounts apply to each child who is adopted, once the adoption is final.
