But be advised... If taking there health insurance,you must keep it the entire year per IRS regulations.
There are some things in there health insurance that aren't working for my family too well. It is almost like we don't have health insurance. So the $80 bucks a week that I pay for it,is getting flushed down the toilet. I tried to cancel it and cannot until the end of the year per IRS regulations.
So if your just starting with Roehl... Your with one of the best there is to start out with.
But MAKE SURE you look over the insurance very closley. It has High deductables. Be prepared to pay for all doctors visits and hospitals stays until the deductables are reached with cash. Shop around for insurance!
Because if you take it,your stuck for the year with no way out but to quit the company. BE ADVISED!!!

my 2 cents worth on the pre-tax payment.
The IRS only allows changes o the "pre-tax" plan once per year. You usually declare these deductins with your employer in the late fall and they take effect in Jan., for the entire year. It has nothing to do with the fact that the IRS won't allow you to cancel the health plan.
Many companies also offer these pre-tax plans where your dollars go into a fund for insurance deductions or child care, dental work etc. Once enrolled in these plans, your pre-tax dollars go into the fund for your use. If not used by a certain time the following year (usually in Jan.), they are gone!
