There are circumstances under which an employee may elect or be reassigned to a position in a lower salary band. When an employee is reassigned to a job in a lower salary band on an involuntary basis, the employeeâs salary may be decreased to reflect the responsibilities of the new job. The supervisor and Human Resources will discuss salary implications in advance of the employeeâs change in position.
Term life insurance covers a person for a fixed term, usually 10 or 20 years, though some companies offer term policies in one-year increments from three to 30 years. Whole life insurance, by contrast, provides coverage from the day a person takes out the policy until the day he dies.
As with basic life insurance, the monthly premium rate is expressed per $1,000 of insurance. Most insurance companies offer optional life insurance as standard rates that they have developed and applied across all employers. Rates are typically age-banded and divided by gender and smoker/non-smoker status.
