Your Benefits as an Alsco Uniforms Employee
Medical
Alsco Uniforms offers managed care plans offering flexible options such as:
- Comprehensive medical coverage with no pre-existing condition provisions
- Dependent coverage – you can cover your spouse and/or your dependent children
- Opt out – participation is not required
- Annual enrollment – you can make new choices each year
Our plans cover comprehensive medical services, including:
- Doctor and hospital visits, including maternity and well-baby care
- Prescription drugs
- Emergency care
We subsidize a portion of the cost for medical coverage for you and your covered dependents. You pay your portion on a pre-tax basis, which reduces your income subject to taxes.
Medical Cost Management (Not Available For Some Jobs)
Health Savings Account (HSA) – An HSA offers a tax-favored way to pay for qualified health-care expenses, including your deductible, coinsurance, and eligible medical expenses that are not covered by an HSA eligible health plan. The money in your HSA can grow with potential investment earnings. You won’t pay federal or, in most cases, state taxes on the money if you use it to pay for qualified health-care expenses, as defined by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
Flexible Spending Account (FSA) – While our plans are comprehensive, you may have some out-of-pocket costs for the services you receive, as well as dental and vision services. If you choose, you can use the FSA to pay for these expenses. Each pay period, you can defer some of your salary to an individual FSA account. This pre-tax deferral reduces your income subject to federal and most state income tax. After you have incurred a covered expense, you can file for reimbursement from your own account to cover your out-of-pocket costs.

Annually, the Company will make an automatic profit sharing contribution to your 401(k) account equal to 4% of your eligible earnings. In addition, for every dollar you defer up to 6% of your compensation, the company will contribute another 25 cents. The vesting of the Company’s match, year-end profit sharing, and resulting earnings is two years.

The standard vacation policy starts with five days the first year, and ten days after the first year of continuous employment. The number of vacation days increases with continuous employment, up to a maximum of four weeks of vacation annually.
