Evaluating Other Benefits- Financial Security

by jennifer
January 6, 2013

It’s hard to envision a time when you won’t be able to work when you are young, so the benefits listed below may not seem critical to you. You may not think you need them, but they are still important.

Short-term Disability Insurance- This benefit will pay your full salary if you are unable to work. The amount of this benefit typically depends on your length of time with your employer.

Long-term Disability- This benefit will pay a percentage of your salary if you are unable to work for an extended period of time. Typically there is a maximum period of time for this coverage.

Life Insurance- Some employers will provide you with a life insurance policy. Other employers will help you qualify for an insurance risk pool that offers you good rates based on the risk category you are in.

Credit Unions– Most employers have a credit union which you can use to put aside money from your pay check. This is a convenient way to create a disciplined savings account.

Workers Compensation- All employers will have workers compensation should you be injured on the job and not able to work.

Relocation Assistance– If your employer asks you to relocate, you will receive assistance for the move including:

  • All moving expenses
  • Assistance in finding a new place to live
  • Support in selling your home

Most of the benefits listed here are at little or no cost to you..

  • I have changed and adopted some things. First is my time management. I learned how to manage my time by using simple things like the what to-do-list. I never thought about using time between classes in doing useful things. I used to either go back to my apartment if that break is long or just use my phone in texting. However, I do realize how can I use that time, I usually spend my time in the engineering lab even if I have everything done, I just go and figure out what to do because in anyway its better than going back to the apartment. Additionally, I learned a very useful thing like the cheat sheet. I have never heard of this until I took this class. I think even if it’s not permitted to be used in some classes, it benefits me in reviewing before a test and quizzes since most of what is going to be covered is in there. What I like here is that everything we learn can be used in real situations or study cases. For instance, I learn some tips for studying such as flash cards and when I try it, it works quite perfectly..
