program to help you grow professionally? You can
take classes to enhance your job-related skills and
knowledge – and LBT will help pay for the cost!
Who can participate?
Any regular, full-time employee can participate in the
program, subject to approval.
How much can I receive?
You can receive up to $3,200 per fiscal year to help pay for your tuition.
What types of educational programs are eligible?
You must attend an accredited college or university.
I’m interested, what do I do?
You can pick up an application from any team member in the HR
department. Please complete the application and submit to your
department manager and ED/VP for approval. You must receive approval
prior to beginning courses in order to receive reimbursement.
Questions?
If you have questions about LBT’s tuition reimbursement, contact
Jackie Gomez at 562.599.8564.
Eligible full-time
employees can take
advantage of LBT’s
401(a) Matching
Contribution Plan.
Every dollar you save
is matched to help
you build a larger
retirement nest egg.
Who can participate?
Any full-time employee hired on or after April 1, 2011, not
participating in another LBT retirement plan.
Automatic contributions by LBT
Just for being an eligible employee, LBT automatically contributes
5% of your annual salary to the 401(a) matching contribution plan.
That is free money!
Plus, you can receive a match
For every dollar you contribute, LBT matches that contribution, up
to 5% of your total salary.
This means that if you contribute 5% of your salary, LBT
contributes an additional 10%!
There are some exceptions related to catch-up provisions and
whether you are in a bargaining group.
There are also annual limits.
Employees must be vested by completing three years of service
before being able to access the matching funds. If you leave the
agency before three years, you forfeit these benefits.
Questions?
If you have questions about the program, your retirement
benefits and other matters related to LBT’s 401(a) Matching
Contribution benefits, contact Ingris Lopez at 562.489.8461.
The best way to protect yourself against
the flu and COVID-19 is by getting your
flu shot!
While LBT cannot provide on-site flu
shots this year, there are plenty of places
to get immunized this year against the
flu. With the current COVID-19 pandemic,
getting the flu shot is more important
than ever!
With your LBT health insurance
you can visit a local Costco, CVS, Target,
Walgreens and other locations to get
your flu shot at no charge.
