Insurances: The cost of individual and dependent

percent of the split is determined annually, with a
fixed amount being deducted from each paycheck to cover
the employee's portion of the premium.
Life Insurance: At
the agency's expense, all full-time employees (salaried
employees employed on a 30-40 hour work week basis) will
receive $50,000 of term life insurance. Employees are
given the option of purchasing additional amounts of
life insurance at the employee's expense.
Disability: At the
agency's expense, all salaried employees employed on a
30-40 hour work week basis are offered long-term
disability.
Retirement Program:
Membership in the Virginia Retirement System (VRS) is a
condition of employment for salaried employees working

contributions from NRVCS and employees. The percent of
the split is set annually with a fixed amount deducted
from each paycheck.

members. Full-time salaried employees will accrue sick

employment.
Flexible Benefits
Plan: Full-time employees may reduce their tax
liability with dependent care expenses in addition to

incorporated into the plan.
Deferred
Compensation Plan: All salaried employees, who
work at least 20 hours per week, are eligible to

counseling to aid in resolving any type of personal
problem. The program is available for NRVCS employees,
as well as their immediate family members.
Longevity Bonus: Each

15 years or more, upon retirement or retirement due to
line-of-duty disability, will have the option of
continuing to participate at their own cost in the group
medical program provided by NRVCS. Regardless of whether
the reitree chooses to continue to participate in the
agency's medical program or purchase a medical plan
elsewhere, NRVCS will pay $1.50 per year of service to a
maximum of $45 paid monthly for the retiree for the
purpose of offsetting the cost of medical insurance.
