Benefits

You are eligible to enroll in a health insurance plan, with coverage beginning the first of the month after 30 days of employment. The State Bar contributes generously to the premium cost with the remainder paid by the employee through pre-tax payroll deductions.

We offer a traditional HMO health insurance plan; a High Deductible Health Plan paired with a robust Health Savings Account (HSA) arrangement; or a Point of Service Plan for those who appreciate choice when choosing a physician.

You are eligible to enroll yourself and your dependents in a dental coverage plan. The State Bar shares the premium cost for employees and their enrolled dependents.

You are eligible to enroll yourself and your dependents in a vision coverage plan. The minimal premium is paid by the employee through pre-tax payroll deductions.

All full-time and part-time employees who work more than 1000 hours per year are eligible to participate in our 401k retirement plan. You can make pre-tax or Roth contributions up the IRS limits into your 401k account. A variety of investment options exist, allowing the flexibility of hands-on involvement to worry-free target fund choices. The plan also allows you to roll-over balances from other qualified funds.

In addition, after completing one year of service, all full-time and part-time employees who work more than 1000 hours per year will be eligible to receive a generous 8% State Bar contribution to their retirement plan. Full vesting occurs after 5 years of service.

Newly hired, full-time employees earn 3 weeks of vacation over the course of their first year. You begin accruing vacation immediately upon hire, and can use your time as soon as it is accrued. You will begin earning four weeks’ vacation after three years of employment.

As a State Bar Employee, you will enjoy 10 paid holidays each year. Plus, all full-time employee's receive an additional 16 hours of personal holiday time to celebrate other cultural, religious or personal celebrations that are important to you.

Full-time employees earn ten sick days every year. This is a wonderful benefit so you don't have to use valuable vacation time if you or a family member is sick or has medical, dental or counseling appointments. Employee's never lose sick time and there is no maximum. It keeps accruing during the duration of your employment!

The State Bar pays the full premium cost for your long term disability coverage; there is no cost to you. Should you find yourself in a position where you are unable to work due to illness or injury, disability coverage begins on the 91st day, paying 60% of pre-disability earnings.

Voluntary, short-term disability is available to purchase through payroll deduction. This provides payment for up to 60% of your lost earnings (up to a maximum) beginning on the 8th consequtive day of an illness or injury that prevents you from working.

Life insurance valued at 3 times your annual earnings ($300,000 max) is provided at no cost to you; the State Bar pays the entire premium.

Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) allow you to save for eligible medical and dependent care expenses on tax-free basis. You are eligible to enroll in our Health Care and/or Dependent Care plans.

Most of our employees have the flexibility to work a hybrid schedule with a minimum of 2 days per week in the office (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) and 3 days at home. There are some select positions that have the option to work full-time from home if they wish to do so. A variety of scheduling options exist to help you maintain work-life balance.

Professionalism is important at the State Bar. Our business-casual dress allows us to be professional and comfortable at the same time. Enjoy an opportunity to wear jeans each week on casual Monday!

Join in our tradition of monthly birthday treats, the fun of grilling out and playing yard games or bingo, enjoy a festive dinner during holiday season, or a summer evening out at a Mallards game. These are just a few examples of the fun activities the Bar-Booster team plans to help us relax, have fun and smile a little more while we are at work.

The State Bar building has an exercise room and showers/lockers available for those who enjoy adding a workout to their daily routine. The Wellness Committee arranges for the option to sign up for monthly on-site​ massages, lunch and learns, healthy potlucks and more.
