BENEFITS & WELLBEING
All employees who average 30 hours or more per week receive benefits, and full-time employees pay only 16% of the total cost of medical, dental and vision. We offer our non-union employees averaging 20 to 30 hours per week medical, dental and vision coverage at 50% of the total cost.
American Water’s health and wellbeing programs aim for employees to go home in the same or better condition than when they came to work. We approach our programs holistically by offering a full spectrum of medical, prescription, dental and vision coverage, plus disability, life insurance, voluntary benefits, health and wellness programs, and much more.
