Paid Time Off Paid Time Off (PTO) PTO is available to all Full-Time and Part-Time associates who are regularly scheduled to work 40 hours or more per pay period. Associates are eligible to use PTO for any supervisor-approved reason, including vacations, personal business or illness. Paid Time Off (PTO) Accrual Non-exempt (hourly) associates PTO is accrued based on hours worked in a pay period (not to exceed 80 hours for this purpose). The amount associates may earn will depend on their job classification, length of service, and hours worked in a pay period (with exception of premium hours, e.g., call pay, stand-by pay, etc.). Current Associates may accumulate up to a maximum of 320 hours. PTO accruals will cease until the accumulated PTO falls below the maximum. PTO Accrual Schedule for Non-exempt (hourly) (cap at 320 hours) Completed Years of Service Years (Months per Year) Hours Per Year* Days Per Year* Accrual Per Hour Paid 0-1 (0-11.9) 128 16 0.061538 2-3 (12-35.9) 136 17 0.065385 4-5 (36-59.9) 152 19 0.073077 6-8 (60-95.9) 168 21 0.080769 9-11 (96-131.9) 192 24 0.092308 12-15 (132-179.9) 200 25 0.096154 16+ (180+) 216 27 0.103846 PAID TIME OFF Example to Pro-rate: If you work 72 hours a pay period and your year of service is 1 year 0.0161538 (hourly accrual rate) x 72 pp hours = 4.43 x 26 (pay periods/year) = 115.20 (annual hours) Paid Time Off (PTO) Front Loaded Plan Annual Front-Loaded PTO will be awarded to exempt (salaried) associates and available for use at the beginning of each year. During pay period one of each year, 27 days of non-accrued PTO will be advanced into the associate’s bank (prorated based on FTE).

Benefits Guide 2019 7
Medical Plan Eligibility All full-time or part-time benefit eligible associates may elect coverage. Eligible dependents include your legal spouse, and children up to the date in which they turn age 26. Any unmarried child of any age with a mental or physical handicap or disability who is incapable of self-support is eligible provided they became disabled before age 26 and while covered by the plan. Coverage Levels You can choose from four levels of coverage: • Associate Only • Associate + Spouse • Associate + Child(ren) • Family Coverage Begins If you enroll in this plan, coverage is effective the 1st of the month following 30 days of employment. Coverage Ends Coverage ends on the last day of employment or when you cease to be an eligible associate. Dependents terminate on the day of their 26th birthday. Please see the Medical Plan book for additional instances when coverage ends. AMITA Health Medical Plan AMITA Health will offer associates a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan administered by Automated Benefit Services (ABS) and it consists of the BlueCross BlueShield’s national provider network. PPO plans allow associates to seek services from the provider of their choice. The AMITA Health Medical Plan is a ‘tiered’ network with three tiers: (1) * SmartHealth Network consisting of AMITA MEDICAL PLAN Health (Adventist Midwest Health, Alexian Brothers and Presence Health), Ascension and Adventist Health System facilities and contracted providers; (2) BlueCross BlueShield National Provider Network; and (3) Out of Network – facilities and providers not contracted with BlueCross BlueShield National Provider Network. You and your family members will experience a significantly higher level of benefits when receiving your care from an AMITA provider. If you choose to seek care outside of AMITA Health, you will have access to BlueCross BlueShield’s national provider network. 8 Benefits Guide 2019
Certain services may require satisfying a deductible. Once the deductible is satisfied by the member, the plan will begin paying a portion of your remaining charges known as co-insurance. AMITA Health PPO plan provides associates financial security by placing an out-of-pocket limit on an associate’s health care expenses. Associates are free to seek services from the provider of their choice, however, associates’ out-of-pocket expenses will be significantly lower when services are received from an AMITA Health provider. Health Benefits Subsidy is offered to Full-Time associates at the time of the annual open enrollment or initial enrollment for benefits (New hire or from PRN to Full-time benefits eligible status). The Health Benefits Subsidy is designed to assist associates who may not have affordable access to healthcare. The subsidy provides a discount of: • 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% on associate bi-weekly deductions for coverage on the SmartHealth PPO plan. • 50% or 100% on deductibles, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket costs for covered expenses under the SmarthHealth PPO medical plan for care that you and covered dependents receive in the PPO Plan Tier 1 Network. (The discount does not apply to co -payments) • The subsidy also includes reduced pharmacy copays for associates who qualify for all levels of the subsidy. Associates have 31 days to apply from the initial enrollment period or by the deadline provided during the annual open enrollment period. For more information about the Health Benefits Subsidy and how to apply, please visit iAMITA > Departments > Human Resources > Benefits > Health Plan Subsidy or www.amitahealthbenefits.com. Please review both the schedule of benefits below as well as your bi-weekly premiums on www.amitahealthbenefits.com. MEDICAL PLAN Deductible: The amount you owe before insurance or plan begins to pay. Co-insurance: Once the deductible is met, this is the share of the costs of a covered service for which the member is responsible. It is a percent (%) of the allowed amount of the service. Co-payment: This is a fixed amount you pay for a covered service. This amount can vary depending on the service received. The co-pay may or may not count toward the deductible. Network Providers: These are facilities, providers, and suppliers who have a contract to deliver services under the network, which is managed by the insurer. Out-of-Pocket Maximum: This is the most the enrolled associate will pay during the year before the plan begins to pay 100% of the allowed amount. Precertification: A decision by the plan that a service, treatment, prescription drug or durable medical equipment is medically necessary. Benefits Guide 2019 9
