SEMI U.S. Employment Benefits
2011 SEMI U.S. Employee Benefits Summary
(BENEFITS ARE EFFECTIVE UPON DATE OF HIRE UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED)
The information in this summary describes highlights of the SEMI US benefit plans. Registration for most of the employee benefits is completed on the web with our payroll administrator, ADP. New employees are sent instructions on how to log into the site.
Complete details of the benefits are found on the ADP web site in the official plan documents section. If there appears to be a conflict between this summary and the plan documents, the plan document will govern. SEMI reserves the right to change or discontinue these plans and, or increase employee contributions at anytime. These benefits apply to full time employees only; that is, those who work 30 hours per week or more. This summary does not create a contract of employment between SEMI and any employee.

*SEMI employees receive $1,500 (single)/$3000 (family) in their HSA accounts at the beginning of the Plan Year (from SEMI), leaving $1550 (single)/$3150 (family) that the employee—under 55 years of age--may contribute to the account. (if you are over 54, you may contribute an additional $1000.) HSA contributions are deductible from Federal taxes, but not from California taxes. There are no Kaiser HMO charges to the employee or family members after the deductible has been met.
Note: The SEMI HSA contribution amount is prorated during the year for new employees or new enrollees to the Kaiser HSA Deductible-HMO Plan due to family status changes.
3) This is a brief summary of benefits for your Kaiser Traditional PPO Plan which uses the US-wide Private Health Care System (PHCS) for doctors, hospitals and pharmacies instead of the Kaiser Network for the ‘In Network Plan”:|
