Annual Base Pay

The definition of annual base salary depends on whether you are salaried or hourly, and does not include bonus or overtime pay. If you are a salaried employee, annual base salary is your annual salary. If you are an hourly employee, annual base salary is your hourly rate times 2,080 (52 weeks x 40 hours/week).

Remember

Hess provides generous paid time off for maternity and child bonding — up to 16 weeks. Plus, you receive full pay during the period of approved family leave.

TIPS FOR WORKING WITH HEALTH ADVOCATE

  • Keep in mind that working with Health Advocate is collaborative — you may need to share information so a dedicated Health Advocate can offer informed, well-researched guidance.
  • Plan so you can allow a day or two for your Health Advocate to do the necessary research to provide a response. This may include making appointments for you.

BUILD UP YOUR HSA NEST EGG

Depending on how you use it, your HSA can be a valuable addition to your retirement savings portfolio. If you save (rather than spend) your HSA dollars, you can build up your HSA balance for future use. You can even invest your HSA dollars and watch your account grow tax free with investment earnings.

REMEMBER

You must re-enroll in order to make HSA contributions every year. Your current election won’t roll over to next year. However, you can change (increase, decrease, start or stop) your HSA contributions at any time during the year.
