CONCORD, NH — Teamsters Local 633, one of four unions representing state employees, has ratified a two-year contract agreement with the state. Teamsters Local 633 represents more than 300 state employees in the Department of Corrections, including corrections officers and corrections corporals. The deal includes the first cost-of-living pay increases in five years and helps reduce the state’s projected growth in health care costs, said Gov. Maggie Hassan. In return, employees are agreeing to take a more active role in managing their health and health care costs. The state will switch to a site-of-service plan, where certain services employees will have the option to go to select providers or pay a deductible. In exchange for working to improve their own health through activities such as taking a health assessment test, getting a physical, getting a flu shot or having their blood pressure checked, employees earn up to $500 a year through a health reimbursement account and a wellness reimbursement program. The money can be used for health care expenses such as deductibles or eye glasses. Employees also agreed to contribute toward their dental plan for the first time. Read More. |
