Section 15.02.30.120 - OPERATOR BENEFITS01.Vending Machine Income. The Program shall provide licensees with information regarding benefits. Upon a majority vote of licensees, the Program may retain vending machine income from federal property in accordance with 34 CFR 395.8(a). Such income may be used for the establishment and maintenance of retirement or pension plans, for health insurance contributions, and for the provision of paid sick leave and vacation time for operators. Distribution of benefit payments shall be determined by a majority vote of licensees and established as policy.02.Eligibility. Only operators of a primary location pursuant to an agreement shall be eligible to receive benefits. There shall be a ninety (90) day waiting period before a new operator is eligible to receive benefits. Benefit payments will not be interrupted when an operator transfers from one primary location to another. Benefits shall be paid only after the appropriate documentation is submitted to the Program.03.Medical Insurance. If a majority of licensees determines that operators shall be reimbursed for medical insurance premiums, operators shall be responsible for acquiring their own policies. The Program shall reimburse the operator in an amount determined by the vote of licensees. Operators shall provide documentation to the Program proving payment of their premiums, prior to any reimbursement.04.Retirement and Pension Accounts. If a majority vote of licensees determines that operators shall have retirement accounts, the Program shall deposit into approved retirement accounts an amount determined by a majority vote of licensees, up to the maximum federal allowance for IRAs per year. The funds shall be deposited on a monthly basis directly into each operator's retirement account.05.Sick Leave and Vacation Funds. If a majority vote of licensees determines that operators shall have sick or vacation leave funds, or both, the Program shall remit to each operator an amount determined by a majority vote of licensees.06.Non-Fully Funded Benefits.
