Health Savings Account on the HSA Plan The Health Savings Account is a benefit of the HSA Plan, governed by limits set by the IRS.
Health Savings Account (HSA) With the HSA Plan, you’re eligible to contribute money to a Health Savings Account. This is a tax-advantaged savings account you can use to help pay for eligible healthcare expenses (medical, dental and vision). • You decide how much to contribute each pay period (up to the federal limits) to your HSA.
Dartmouth Health Contributions: We provide a base contribution to the HSA for all eligible employees who have a base salary of less than $150,000 and who enroll in the HSA Plans. Dartmouth Health will contribute the following for 2024: Salary Bands

• It’s your money. Unused funds carry over each year and are portable if you leave Dartmouth Health.
Contributions are divided into quarterly payments. If you are a new hire in 2024, you will receive a pro-rated contribution in the first pay period of the month following your benefits eligibility.
For 2024, the IRS HSA contribution limit is $4,150 for employee-only coverage and $8,300 for all other coverage levels. Employees age 55 or older may contribute an extra $1,000. These amounts represent the total amount (your contributions plus our contributions (if applicable) and any contributions made to an HSA at another employer within the year).
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) We offer two Flexible Spending Accounts: one to cover healthcare expenses for you and your family, and the other to pay for childcare or eldercare while you work. Unlike the HSA, unused FSA balances do not roll over at the end of the year. FSA funds not used by the end of the calendar year are forfeited.
Health Care Flexible Spending Account
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account
The Health Care FSA is a pre-tax spending account available to employees who waive healthcare coverage, enroll in the PPO Plan, or enroll in our Resident/Fellow Medical PPO Plan. The Health Care FSA can be used to pay for eligible medical, dental, or vision expenses that are not covered by insurance.
The Dependent Care FSA is a pre-tax spending account for eligible elder and childcare expenses so that you and your spouse can work, obtain gainful employment, or attend school full time. The child or adult must be an eligible dependent according to IRS rules.
The annual maximum amount you may contribute to your Health Care FSA is $3,050.
You may contribute up to $5,000 for your family (or $2,500 if married and filing separate tax returns). Examples of eligible expenses: • Childcare up to age 13 • Adult day care • After school programs, up to age 13 • At-home elder care NOTE: You can only participate in Dependent Care FSA if you earn less than the highly compensated limits. For the 2024 plan year, an employee who earned more than $150,000 in 2023 is considered a highly compensated employee.
8 2024 Benefits Dartmouth Health
Retirement Benefit Dartmouth Health cares about your retirement. Therefore, we offer you the opportunity to contribute to a 403(b) plan to which Dartmouth Health may contribute.
Employer Contribution to Retirement Plans Employees receive a base employer contribution equal to 4% of biweekly pay (up to the IRS annual compensation limit), plus a biweekly matching contribution of 50% on up to 4% of pay saved—for a maximum matching contribution of 2% of pay.
403(b) Roth contributions are taxed in the year they are saved. The investment income on Roth 403(b) contributions remains tax free if you leave your money in a Roth account for at least five years from the first year of contribution and you are at least age 59 1/2 at the time of distribution.
Employer base and matching contributions are vested based on a three-year vesting service schedule. Employees earn one year of vesting service for each calendar year in which they are credited with 1,000 hours worked.
*The 2024 IRS contribution limit is $23,000 for employees under age 50. Employees, age 50 or older, during the year are able to save up to an additional $7,500 in “catch-up” contributions in the 403(b) Plan.
Employee Contributions
Financial Fitness Advisors (FFA)
In addition to contributions that Dartmouth Health makes to your retirement account, eligible employees may save for retirement by making voluntary contributions to the Dartmouth Health 403(b) Plan. Your contributions—and any associated investment earnings—are vested immediately. That means they’re yours to keep, even if you should leave Dartmouth Health.
The Financial Fitness Advisors (FFA) may help you reduce the costs of student loan debt, establish retirement income goals and periodically review and adjust those goals, ensuring you can be financially fit now and throughout your retirement years.
You may save up to 100% of your income, subject to IRS annual maximums* through: • 403(b) Pre-tax contributions • 403(b) Roth After-tax contributions, or • After-tax contributions
Dartmouth Health provides one-on-one counseling at no cost to you through FFA, a team of independent (non-commissioned) retirement advisors who will meet with you to explore your retirement goals. You may meet annually with an FFA Advisor and are encouraged to bring your spouse or partner to these sessions. Call FFA at 877.846.8792 or email info@FFAdvisors.org to make an appointment.
• A combination of both types of savings.

Paid Time Off Traditional time off benefits for vacation, sick time and holidays are combined in a single category called Earned Time. Benefit eligible employees start accruing Earned Time with their first paycheck. The accrual rate is based on hours worked and is pro-rated if you work less than 40 hours per week. The annual accrual rate increases as your years of service increase, as shown in the table.
Dartmouth Health will provide up to two consecutive weeks of paid Parental Leave for all eligible employees following the birth or adoption of a child. This policy shall only apply to births or adoptions that occur on or after the employee’s benefit effective date.
