Benefits and Compensation Department
Benefits are important to employees and make up a significant portion of an employee's "total compensation package." To ensure that employees are knowledgeable about their benefit package, the Benefits and Compensation Department conducts new employee orientations and seminars throughout the year. Enrollment materials are processed by the staff and payroll deductions are put in place.
