Many factors will influence an individual's decision to join a company, and having once joined, to remain a satisfied employee. Among these factors, group benefits are an important consideration, since they reflect the importance that a company places on its employees.

We maintain a strong commitment to the dignity and value of each of our employees. This philosophy becomes apparent from a review of the Benefits Plan available to our employees (listed alphabetically):

• 401(k) Investment Plan - As McLaughlin Research grows and profits through the successful performance of our employees, the company rewards this performance by having each eligible employee share in the profits of a successful business year. For those employees who choose to participate in the 401(k) portion of our plan, MRC will match 100% of the first 3% the employee contributes to their plan, 50% of the 4th %, and 50% of the 5th %  the employee contributes, starting the first quarter after hire. Unlike many companies, where vesting is accomplished after a certain period of time, all contributions placed in an employees account are immediately vested. These contributions are deferred from income tax until paid out. Eligible employees may contribute to the 401(k) portion of the plan which allows employees to allocate up to 50% of gross income (to IRS annual max) for placement in a variety of investment accounts.  Employees are eligible to start making contributions upon hire, and are immediately 100% vested.

• Dental Plan - Eligible employees may select one of two different dental plans. Employees become eligible to participate on the 1st of the month following date of hire.
• Dependent Care Reimbursement Plan – this program will allow employees to deduct their estimated day-care expenses for qualified dependents as deferred income on a weekly basis, and be reimbursed on an on-going basis throughout the plan year.  This program is subject to IRS rules.  Employees benefit from the credit on an on-going basis, rather than at the end of the tax year.

Bonuses are awarded to employees earning advanced job-related degrees while employed. Seminars that will enhance employee performance on the job are also offered.
• Employee Luncheons  - In addition to regular communication memos, the CEO and President of MRC hold monthly gatherings with employees.  These informal luncheons serve several purposes.  They give employees an opportunity to meet co-workers assigned to different work sites; employees are given updates on company business; and service awards are distributed and achievements recognized.  The company encourages questions, feedback and suggestions from all employees.
• Funeral Leave - MRC continues pay for up to three days due to a death in the employee's immediate family.
• Holidays - Employees are eligible for 10 paid holidays each calendar year. There is no waiting period. Employees become eligible upon hire date.

• Military Training Paid Leave - We reimburse employees the difference between their regular base pay and their military pay for up to 10 working days each calendar year.

• Personal Accident Expense Insurance (AFLAC) – This program is designed to help cover the expenses associated with accidental injury. The plan pays an employee directly, regardless of any other insurance that he-she may have. This program also provides for a wellness benefit. Premiums and benefits are pre-taxed.
