APPENDIX B
ACTIVE EMPLOYEE MEDICAL
All employees covered by the Contract will be placed in the TakeCare
HMO, that was previously discussed. The Company will pay the entire
cost of the HMO and dental coverage for the first two years of the
Contract. In the third year, and all subsequent years, on a monthly
basis, employees will bear the first $40. ($20 for single employees)
on any increase in the HMO premium.
ACTIVE EMPLOYEES WHO RETIRE DURING THE TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
Eligibility will be age 62 and 15 years of service. The Company s cost
will be frozen at the 1993 level, but will increase by an amount equal
to the rise in the Los Angeles area CPI, up to a maximum of 4% per
year. Employees who have achieved 30 years of service prior to August
16, 1998 will be eligible for retiree medical, provided they retire by
August 16, 1998. Retirees will be allowed to continue in the HMO if
the HMO allows them to have retiree medical. Retirees' medical will
change to conform to any changes in the HMO during the term of the
Contract.
Retirees who move out of the HMO coverage area would have the Company
post retirement indemnity plan under the same terms and conditions as
other retirees covered by the indemnity plan.
PENSION
The Victorville Hourly Pension Plan will be merged into the Southdown
Salaried Pension Plan. Any employee retiring during the term of the
Agreement will have his or her pension calculations made under both
plans and receive the higher amount. From August 16, 1993 through
August 16, 1999, employees will continue to accrue service under the
hourly plan. The pension factor under the hourly plan will be
increased $.50 per year from August 16, 1993 through August 16, 1998.
At the end of that 5 year period the flat rate amount would be $25.00
per month for each year of service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
flat rate of $25.00 per month for each year of service will be used
for pension calculations for any employee who attains 30 years of
credited service and retires within the 5 year period beginning August
16, 1993. On August 17, 1998, the pension factor under the hourly plan
will be increased $5.00 to a flat rate of $30.00 per month for each
year of service. For the purpose of calculating yearly salary under
the Salaried Pension Plan the gainsharing bonus will be included.
LIFE INSURANCE
The Company will provide life insurance coverage at no cost to
the employee. An employee's life insurance is an amount equal to
twice (2X) his/her base hourly rate multiplied by 2,080 hours.
ACCIDENTAL DEATH AND DISMEMBERMENT
The Company will provide accidental death and dismemberment benefit at
no cost to the employee. An employee's accidental death and
dismemberment benefit is an amount equal to twice (2X) his/her base
hourly rate multiplied by 2,080 hours.
SOUTHDOWN, INC. RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN {401(K)}
On a voluntary participation basis, the Company will provide the
Southdown, Inc. Retirement Savings Plan and all amendments thereto
during the life of this Agreement on the same basis the Plan is
provided to all other Southdown, Inc. employees.
