The CBN Culture
CBN is a mission-driven ministry whose objective is to proclaim
Jesus Christ throughout the world. At the same time, CBN is recognized
as a professionally accomplished leader in the field of media and communications.
This unique combination provides a work environment that allows team
members to grow both professionally and spiritually. The mission of
CBN is to help meet both the spiritual and physical needs of people.
For CBN team members, this means they can end each workday knowing they
have been part of something profoundly important. At CBN, a "job" is
not as much a job as it is a calling.
Daily Chapel
Recognizing the importance of maintaining a strong commitment
to the spiritual priorities of CBN, employees gather each day for a
time of worship, prayer and sharing from God's Word. Chapel is considered
part of the paid workday.
Vacation
CBN encourages employees to take time away from their normal
work schedule for spiritual, mental and physical refreshment. Vacation
is awarded as follows:
Full-time regular exempt employees receive 17 days per year.
Full-time regular non-exempt employees receive 12 days per year (17
days per year after five years of service).
Part-time regular employees receive six days vacation per year.
Since new employees do not complete a calendar year's employment, vacation
is calculated for them on a pro-rated basis in their first year.
Holidays
The following holidays are observed:
- New Year's Day (half day)*
- Memorial Day
- Independence Day
- Labor Day (half day)*
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Day
* On these days, employees gather for a time of worship,
prayer and communion.
Medical and Dental Insurance
Under the administration of Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Virginia,
CBN offers our employees a choice of two plans - an HMO (Healthkeepers)
and a Preferred Provider Organization (KeyCare). A comprehensive
Dental plan is also available. These plans are subsidized by CBN for
all full-time regular employees, allowing employees and their families to obtain health
coverage at very low cost.
Life Insurance
Life insurance is provided at twice the employee's annual salary, rounded
up to the next thousand. There is no cost to the employee for this coverage.
The employee may purchase additional Voluntary Life coverage.
Disability Insurance
Both short term and long term disability insurance coverages are provided
at no cost to the employee:
Short term: After an employee is unable to report to work for
14 consecutive days, Short Term disability pays 60 percent of base weekly
salary.
Long term: After the employee has been out of work for 26 weeks,
this insurance pays 66 2/3% of base monthly salary, up to a maximum of $7500/month.
403(b) Retirement Plan
Administered by Fidelity Investments, the 403(b) plan is
provided as a means of saving for retirement. For full-time regular
employees, CBN will match dollar-for-dollar up to 4% of gross salary
on a bi-weekly basis. CBN gives the employee
the opportunity to manage their investments at their own discretion.
Workers' Compensation In the event of a work-related injury, this insurance pays
66.67 percent of weekly wages for time lost from work in excess of seven
days up to the maximum set by law. |
