Did you know NuAxis matches up to 3% of your 401(k) contributions? If you’re receiving this, you could be leaving "free money" on the table!

Here's the deal:

We match 50% on your first 6% contribution
That means you get up to 3% extra, just for saving for retirement!
The minimum you need to defer to get the match is 6%

Why miss out?

Free Money: Don't leave this match on the table. It's like getting a raise without asking!
Boost Your Nest Egg: Over time, even small increases add up. Imagine a bigger, brighter retirement.
Tax Advantages: Contributions come out of your paycheck before taxes, lowering your current tax bill.

Ready to take control? Review your current contribution and consider bumping it up. Please head to ADP’s website and sign in to your account to sign up or raise your contributions. If you have any questions, you can reach their help line at (866) 695-7526.

HR Updates & Resources

Jury Duty & Court Subpoenaed Absences

If you are called to perform jury duty, or subpoenaed to court as a result of legal action which you did not initiate and which is clearly out of your control, you must provide a copy of the summons to your manager immediately upon receipt.

While on jury duty, you will receive your normal compensation for up to 40 hours. If 4 or more hours remain in the workday following jury duty, you should return to work and complete the remainder of your workday, except where otherwise prohibited by applicable state law.

If you initiate legal action resulting in a subpoena for your appearance in court, you must charge the period of leave to PTO or Leave Without Pay.

Jury absence will be noted on your time sheet or time card. Time spent on jury duty will not be counted as hours worked for the purpose of computing overtime pay. You will be required to furnish your supervisor with evidence of having served on a jury for the time claimed.

Employee Referral Bonus Award Program

An award program has been established to encourage our present staff to refer quality people to our organization. If the referral is hired, the staff member that referred will receive a $1,500.00 award if all criteria in the policy are met. In order to qualify for the award program, a current employee should be listed as the "source" in the candidate's application for the open position.

Referrals are valid for 12 months. In the event multiple people refer the same individual, Human Resources will review the situation to determine who qualifies to receive the award. Generally, the employee's name mentioned in the application would qualify for the incentive.

Referral candidates cannot already be recommended through a recruiter.

The award will be paid after the referred employee has been actively employed for 6 months. Both the new employee and the individual who made the recommendation must be active employees at the time the award is paid.
