Benefits of Working for the UUA
The Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) offers our full-time national staff a comprehensive and wide variety of benefits, including:
Insurances
In the interest of protecting you and your family's well-being, we offer a number of insurance and wellness plans tailored specifically to your needs:
- Medical Insurance
- Dental Insurance
- Vision Discount Plan
- Prescription Drug Coverage
- Domestic Partner Coverage
- Life Insurance
- Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance
- Disability Insurance
The UUA contributes 80% to the cost of your monthly health insurance premiums.
Retirement Plan
We sponsor a 401(a) defined contribution retirement plan to assist you as you prepare for your future financial security. The plan provides the convenience of pre-tax payroll deductions. The UUA currently contributes 11% (after one year's service). You may allocate monies among a variety of investment options, which include several socially-responsible funds.
Flexible Benefits Plan
The Flexible Benefits Plan offers tax savings by allowing you to pay for qualified medical, dependent care, or transportation expenses on a pre-tax, salary-reduction basis. The before-tax-dollar approach means that your contributions are made to the Flexible Benefits Plan before taxes are taken, resulting in more net spendable income and a greater tax savings each year.
Employee Assistance Program
You and your immediate family may take advantage of no-cost, confidential counseling, outsourcing, and information resources (including financial and legal advice) through an independent agency for personal and family issues.
Time Off
We do our best to provide a balance between work and home life with a generous paid time off package that includes:
- Vacation Time
- Personal Time
- Sick Time
- Holidays
- Sabbatical Time
Flexible Schedules and Working Hours
Our standard workweek is 35 hours and, when possible, we offer flexible schedules to help you strike a more effective balance between your work and personal life.
Direct Deposit
You may choose to have your paycheck deposited to your savings or checking accounts through automatic direct deposit.
