Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
Our medical and dependent care FSAs allow full time employees to pay for eligible out of pocket expenses on a pretax basis. Employees put a predetermined amount of money aside each pay period, via payroll deductions, and then submit claims for reimbursement.

Medical FSA
This plan allows employees to use pretax dollars to pay for out of pocket medical expenses that aren't covered by their health insurance coverage.

Dependent Care FSA
This plan allows employees to use pretax dollars to pay for dependent care expenses. Employees are allowed to contribute up to $5,000 per year in the Dependent Care FSA.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
KBC offers a confidential EAP that is designed to help employees with the problems of daily living, both at home and at work.

Retirement Savings Plan

KBC offers this voluntary retirement plan through TIAA-CREF. Employees are eligible to enroll on date of hire.

Employer Sponsored Money Purchase Plan
After 12 months of service, Kentucky Blood Center employees are automatically enrolled in KBC's Money Purchase Plan. In this Plan, KBC contributes 10% of the employee's salary, on a monthly basis, into an individual retirement account through TIAA-CREF. Employees are vested at 20% each year and are fully vested after five (5) years in the Plan.
