In addition, there are fringe benefits that are important in helping to provide security for Kennecott employees and their families. These added benefits are equivalent to an extra paycheck every payday. In . all, there are more than 20 fringe benefits at Kennecott, valued at about $1500 a year per employee. For all employees, employ-ees, this amounts to about $10,500,000 a year, which in itself would be one of the largest payrolls in our state. But at Kennecott Kenne-cott it is in addition to the regular payroll of $43,000,000 each year. Among these fringe benefits is a liberal hcspital-xnedical-surgical plan which helps ployecs and members of their families meet the cost of sickness. Another provides weekly payments during sickness, and lump sum payments for fatal or dismembering off-the-job accidents. A third makes low cost group life insurance available to employees. em-ployees. Kennecott pays the major part of the cost of these benefits and employees pay the remainder, while the company pays the full cost of a pension plan that helps provide financial security for retired day-pay day-pay employees. Good pay and fringe benefits that pror vide additional security for the present and the future help tell the full story of a job in copper production in Utah. The combination com-bination of thetwo explains why, so frequently, fre-quently, what may start as just a job at-Kennecott, at-Kennecott, develops into a lifetime career. . ...
