Other Major Life Events May Be Requested and Reviewed by Our Committee!

To ensure your life event is compatible with the program, we must consider the following: How unexpected is the financial need? What is the potential impact on the employee’s ability to do their job or care for their immediate family members? How much supporting documentation can the employee provide demonstrating the need? How many prior requests have the employee made to the program? How much is being requested, and how much money is currently available in the CARES Fund?

Support tiers to match your tenure

Funds may be requested and distributed in 4 tiers based on tenure and standing with the company. "In Good Standing" = The employee is active and not on a performance improvement plan. The employee's direct Manager and HR sign off that the employee demonstrates our Company's Core Values – Safety, Quality, Team, Customer, Innovation, and Community.

Employees may make multiple requests with a maximum allotment of $1,000 distributed every two years. Example: An employee receives $250 to pay for an unexpected car repair in order to come to work. One year later, they receive $750 to assist with a deposit on a new apartment after being given less than 30 days’ notice to relocate. This totals the max allotment of $1,000. The employee must wait a minimum of 2 years from the date the $250 was issued before requesting another $250 and a minimum of 2 years from the date the $750 was issued before requesting $750 or less.

How we fuel the SVSS CARES program
