The monthly Benefit Credit increases from $835 to $851 per employee, retroactive to July 1, 2007. As a result, the health insurance premiums currently deducted from your payroll are being reduced by $16 per month or $8 per paycheck, reflected in your paychecks in May and June. Health insurance premiums are deducted from your payroll pretax and show on your paycheck as HLTH INS. The difference between the Benefit Credit you were paid between July 2007 and April 2008 and the amount you should have been paid ($16 per month according to the new agreement) will be paid to you in the same check as your retroactive salary, tentatively scheduled for June.
