Stratagem offers a flexible benefits program, which means that our employees have options to select benefit levels that are of most value to them and their personal and family situations. These benefits are available to every full-time salaried employee on that person's first day of employment with Stratagem. Our benefits package allows our employees to pay for their portion of premiums with pre-tax dollars, which results in a significant out-of-pocket savings. The package includes: Medical benefits are an important part of your benefits program and financial security. Our goal is to offer you a comprehensive medical plan with several options to meet the diverse needs of our work force. Employees may choose among single, employee & child, employee & spouse, and family plan options. We offer employees medical plans that vary slightly according to the provider packages offered in each of our local service delivery areas.
Good dental care is essential to the maintenance of your overall health and requires regular check-ups and preventative care. Our dental plan provides important insurance protection against the cost of good dental care for you and your family. Stratagem pays approximately 60% of the overall premium cost of our dental insurance. Employees may choose between single, employee & child, employee & spouse, and family plan options. We offer three plans through HumanaDental Insurance Company: a PPO, a Comprehensive Plan, and a Preventative Plan.
Our Short-Term Disability insurance provides you with an important source of income should you become disabled and unable to work for an extended period of time.

Benefit payments for a qualified disability begin on the 8th day of disability and may continue up until the 90th day. The financial consequences of a long-term disability can be disastrous to your financial security and to that of your family. Our Long-Term Disability insurance provides you with a guaranteed level of income based on your current level of pay. Our plan provides four options to meet the needs of your situation: 50% of base annual pay to $9,000 per month taxable or non-taxable, and 60% of base annual pay to $9,000 per month taxable or non-taxable. Stratagem pays the entire premium for the 50% taxable option. These benefit payments begin after short-term disability has been exhausted. Life insurance benefits provide an important source of financial security for your family by offering income security and wealth preservation in the event of your death or disability. Our benefits give you the opportunity to design your own personal level of insurance protection. Stratagem provides coverage of $50,000 per employee. Employees may purchase additional amounts, up to $120,000, for their own coverage. Stratagem also provides for spouse and dependent insurance ($2,000 for employee spouses and $1,000 for each dependent child).

Stratagem pays the rewards in three payments of $700 during the first 13 months that the new consultant works for Stratagem. If an eligible employee refers a non-consultant candidate (for a management or administrative position), the reward is a one-time $860 cash award.

Employees may 'set aside' up to $5,000 per year for pre-tax health care expenses, and up to $5,000 per year for pre-tax dependent care expenses.

After four years of employment with Stratagem, all employer contributions are 100% vested. An employee's contributions are always 100% vested. Our Paid Time Off (PTO) policy provides employees flexibility in taking time off. For the first three years of employment (years 0 through 3), employees earn 18 hours of PTO per month. This equates to 27 days per year. For years 4 through 7 with Stratagem, employees earn 20 hours per month (30 days/year). For years 8 through 10, employees earn 22 hours per month (33 days/year). For years 11 through 15, employees earn 24 hours per month (36 days/year). Starting in the 16th year of employment with Stratagem, employees earn 26 hours per month (39 days/year). Stratagem consultants may earn additional PTO by working overtime - see the explanation below. Stratagem employees use PTO for holidays, vacation days, other personal days, and any sick days that they need. With Resource Manager/client approval, employees may determine the days they want or need to take off - they are not necessarily tied to any particular vacation or holiday schedule. This allows employees to use their time away from work on the dates that work best for them. In addition to the PTO described above, Stratagem provides paid time for bereavement leave in the event of a death of an employee's immediate family member. The company pays up to 3 days bereavement time for the employee to make arrangements, attend the funeral, and be with family in this time of emotional stress. Stratagem pays consultants for overtime hours that are billable to a client. Stratagem's full-time consultants' salaries are based on regular work hours (8 hours per work day). If a consultant's billable work hours exceed the standard or available number of hours within a billing period, the consultant may choose either to be paid for those additional billable hours at a straight-time rate, or to place the additional billable hours in his or her PTO bank, to be taken at a later time as additional paid time off. Stratagem offers employees a competitive mileage reimbursement allowance. The company also pays for lodging and per-diem expenses if an employee needs to travel and stay overnight. In addition, Stratagem pays for parking expenses at client or other business locations. Business and Social Gatherings Stratagem sponsors a variety of business and social employee gatherings. These events enable our employees to network with each other, share knowledge, and enjoy social time together. Stratagem provides a free and confidential third-party
