Outside of starting salaries, corporate cultures, and other work perks; employee benefits are something that all professionals must take into careful consideration when conducting a job search. Because there are so many different types of benefit plans, such as medical, life, retirement, and voluntary products out there, it can be difficult to put the total compensation offered by an employer into perspective.
除了起薪、企業(yè)文化和其他工作津貼之外，員工福利是所有職業(yè)人士在進(jìn)行求職時(shí)都要認(rèn)真考慮的事項(xiàng)。因?yàn)楦＠?jì)劃有許多不同的形式，里面包括醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)，生活補(bǔ)貼，退休計(jì)劃，自愿購買產(chǎn)品等等，所以很難準(zhǔn)確算出雇主提供的全部薪酬。

This is why it’s important to carefully evaluate the competitive employee benefits package and understand how they can best help you reach your personal health and financial needs.
這就是為什么要仔細(xì)評(píng)估有競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性的員工福利待遇，并且弄清楚如何選擇才會(huì)對(duì)你的個(gè)人健康和財(cái)務(wù)需求更有益。
?
As you traverse a job search, here are the most common elements that employee benefit plans include:
當(dāng)你找到工作時(shí)，員工福利計(jì)劃里最常見的有以下幾項(xiàng)：
?
General Employee Benefit Coverage Limits
基本員工福利待遇
?
When considering the benefits offered by a new employer, think about the monthly or pay period costs that you will be responsible for and what the employer agrees to cover. Even if the premiums are deducted from your paycheck pre-tax, this can impact your annual salary and take home pay. Be sure that you understand how much of a cut this will be.
在考慮新老板提供的好處時(shí)，你要考慮你每月或每期要付的費(fèi)用以及雇主同意的費(fèi)用。即使保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)是從你的工資稅前扣除，這仍然會(huì)影響你的年薪和實(shí)際所得的薪水。所以，請(qǐng)你確保自己清楚這些要扣多少錢。
?
You’ll also want to note the annual out of pocket deductible, which could be as high as $10K per person for a high deductible health care plan, until you know how much your insurance will actually pay medical costs. You will want to know when coverage dates start, when they end upon resignation, and if there are any penalties of waiting until the annual open enrollment period instead of upon hire.
你還要注意每年的自付額，弄清楚你的保險(xiǎn)費(fèi)實(shí)際支付的醫(yī)療費(fèi)用是多少，因?yàn)獒t(yī)保方案里每人最高可能扣除高達(dá)1萬美元。您要弄明白保險(xiǎn)什么時(shí)候開始生效，辭職后什么時(shí)候結(jié)束，直到年度開放申請(qǐng)加入期間為止（不是工作后），是否會(huì)有任何延遲的罰金。
?
If you have medical coverage currently, you may want to see if the job offer comes with a better plan or if you are better off waiting to utilize your annual out of pocket deductible this year. This can be especially important if you anticipate an expensive medical procedure coming up or the birth of a child.
如果你目前有醫(yī)療保險(xiǎn)，你可能會(huì)希望這份工作機(jī)還會(huì)有更好的計(jì)劃，否則你今年最好等著利用你每年的自付額。如果你預(yù)期會(huì)有昂貴的醫(yī)療程序或孩子出生，這一點(diǎn)對(duì)你來說就十分的重要。

Understand Medical and Voluntary Plan Rules
了解醫(yī)療和自愿計(jì)劃規(guī)則
?
Each medical and voluntary plan will have its own special set of coverage and usage rules. There are also many different plan types, such as Health Maintenance Organizations and Preferred Provider Options. You may be able to use the same doctors and health care centers you have now if they are in network. But if they aren’t, you may be asked to choose a new primary care provider and switch to a new health care network.
每個(gè)醫(yī)療和自愿計(jì)劃都有自己的特別設(shè)定范圍和使用規(guī)則。有許多不同的計(jì)劃類型，如健康維護(hù)組織和提供醫(yī)療保健的組織。如果是在網(wǎng)絡(luò)里，你遇到的可能會(huì)是同一個(gè)醫(yī)生，或是同一個(gè)保健中心。但如果他們不是，你可能會(huì)被要求選擇一個(gè)新的基礎(chǔ)醫(yī)療機(jī)構(gòu)，并更換進(jìn)一個(gè)新的醫(yī)療保健網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
?
Keep in mind that some plans may be limited in the types of services offered, such as routine care vs. mental health care. Some plans offer free preventative care to cover things like mammograms, flu shots, and more. Not all plans include access to discounted prescription benefits. Before you accept these benefits, consult with the human resource director to get more information on plan limitations, and rules.
記住，有些計(jì)劃可能會(huì)僅限于提供的服務(wù)類型，例如日常護(hù)理與精神保健。有些計(jì)劃提供免費(fèi)的預(yù)防性護(hù)理，像乳房X線照片，流感疫苗等等。不是所有的計(jì)劃都能有獲得優(yōu)惠處方的福利。在接受這些福利前，請(qǐng)你咨詢?nèi)肆Y源總監(jiān)以獲取有關(guān)計(jì)劃限制和規(guī)則的更多信息。

Get Information on Company Matched Retirement Plans
獲取公司有關(guān)退休計(jì)劃的信息
?
When deciding on taking a job or not, understanding if the company offers any kind of financial planning benefits like a retirement savings plan, stock investments, disability insurance, and other forms of financial protection. Some companies match employee donations dollar-for-dollar (free money!), while others put a portion of the company earnings into a special account for each employee.
不管你決定要不要接受這個(gè)工作，請(qǐng)你都要了解下公司是否提供各種財(cái)務(wù)規(guī)劃的好處，比如退休儲(chǔ)蓄計(jì)劃，股票投資，殘疾保險(xiǎn)以及其他形式的財(cái)務(wù)保障等等。有些公司會(huì)給予員工同等金額的捐贈(zèng)（免費(fèi)資金！），而其他有些公司會(huì)將公司的一部分利潤(rùn)納入每位員工的特別賬戶里。
?
Consider the percentage requirements for retirement plans and if this is voluntary or a mandatory program. Some companies require that all employees participate in retirement savings plans, deducting as much as 5 percent of the gross salary each month to fund this. Also, in your job search, be mindful of how much the company matches contributions and what the cut-off is.
如果這是自愿或強(qiáng)制性計(jì)劃，請(qǐng)考慮下退休計(jì)劃的百分比要求。一些公司要求所有員工參與退休儲(chǔ)蓄計(jì)劃，然后每月扣除薪資總額的5％來為這筆款項(xiàng)提供資金。此外，在你求職時(shí)，請(qǐng)注意公司給的相應(yīng)的報(bào)酬是多少以及臨界值是多少。

Learn About the Paid Time Off Benefits
了解帶薪休假的好處
?
Most companies want to maintain a healthy and happy workforce, so outside of regular medical benefits, they will offer additional perks such as generous paid time off policies. This is something you should look at to see if you have to wait to use this benefit or if the paid days off are immediately available to you. Consider also if you will have any special needs for time off this year, such as a pre-scheduled vacation or taking a maternity leave, before accepting a job offer.
大多數(shù)公司都想保持健康快樂的員工隊(duì)伍，所以除了正常的醫(yī)療福利外，他們還會(huì)提供額外的津貼，如慷慨的帶薪休假政策。這是你應(yīng)該去了解的，看看你是否正需要用這個(gè)好處，或者你是否能享受到帶薪假。在接受工作之前，你還要考慮到，今年是否有任何特別的需要，例如預(yù)先安排的假期或產(chǎn)假之類的。
?
A word to the wise — be sure to measure any benefits offered by a potential new company against those offered by your spouse’s plan. You may be better off switching over to that plan due to costs or coverage benefits.
給一點(diǎn)忠告：你一定要衡量一個(gè)潛在新公司提供給你的諸多福利和你配偶的福利計(jì)劃。受成本或保險(xiǎn)范圍的影響，你最好變換到某個(gè)計(jì)劃。
