INTRODUCING AQUENT’S 2024 BENEFITS PLANS


This booklet provides information about Aquent’s 2024 benefit plans. Please review
this important information carefully as you make choices for you and your family.

We strongly recommend that you visit dayforcehcm.com to review the medical


summary plan descriptions and comparisons, dental summary, retirement plan
descriptions, and all the forms that you will need throughout the year to manage your
benefits.

In addition, there are health insurance options for you and/or your family available in
the Health Insurance Marketplace at www.healthcare.gov. In the Marketplace, you
could be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premiums right
away, and you can see what your premium, deductibles, and out-of-pocket costs will be
before you make a decision to enroll.

Should you have any questions, please contact the benefits department at 800 878 5520
or benefits@aquent.com.

Thank you.

Coinsurance: after you have reached your deductible, you and your plan share some of your medical
costs; the portion of covered expenses you are responsible for is “coinsurance”

Copay: a flat fee you pay for certain covered services such as doctor’s visits or prescriptions
2024 Benefits Booklet for Hourly Talent BB51023 8 of 24

Deductible: a flat dollar amount you must pay out of your own pocket before your plan begins to pay for
covered services

Out-of-Pocket Maximum: specific limits for the total amount you will pay out of your own pocket before
your plan coinsurance percentage no longer applies; once you meet these maximums, your plan then
pays 100% of the “maximum reimbursable charges” or negotiated fees for covered services

Please note: Once enrolled in the medical plan, you may not switch among the plans except during the annual Open Enrollment
Period or within 30 days (in some instances, 60 days) of experiencing a Qualifying Life Event. Also, you may not voluntarily drop
coverage during the plan year unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event that would allow for the removal of a dependent’s
coverage or the termination of coverage. For questions regarding these IRS-governed restrictions, please contact the benefits
department at 800 878 5520 or benefits@aquent.com.

HOURLY TALENT WEEKLY SCHEDULE OF PREMIUMS


Once you are enrolled in the medical and/or dental plan(s), benefit premiums will be deducted on a weekly basis and applied
toward that week’s coverage. If you miss a weekly paycheck and/or there is a premium balance owed on your account, the full
amount will be deducted from the following paycheck. If you are unable to maintain your hours and/or keep up with payments,
your coverage will be canceled.

Your premiums and those of your spouse and/or child(ren) will be made on a pretax basis (substantially lowering your out-of-
pocket costs). As governed by the IRS, premiums for domestic partners are subject to imputed income and must be deducted
on a posttax basis. Note that only the domestic partner’s premium will be deducted posttax. Your premium equivalent will
continue to be withheld on a pretax basis.

Aquent subsidizes a portion of the weekly cost of medical and/or dental coverage for active Talent enrolled in the medical and/
or dental plan(s). For each hour worked per week, Aquent contributes $2.70 per hour toward medical and $0.18 per hour toward
dental premiums. Aquent’s contributions may not exceed weekly benefit premiums and are not available for cash-out. The
remaining balance of the weekly benefit cost, if any, is the employee’s responsibility and will be automatically deducted from the
employee’s weekly paycheck.

You will have the full weekly premium deducted from your paycheck each week under the deductions section. Under the
earnings section you will have the medical subsidy and/or dental subsidy amount applied based on hours worked. Any earnings
towards subsidy is taxable income. Your cost is the difference between the deduction amount and the subsidy amount.

Please review the premium payment schedule below.

How the Tax Savings Work


Each dollar you put into an FSA is a dollar not taxed. The following is an example of the tax savings offered by the Dependent Care FSA.

EXAMPLE: Michelle earns $40,000 a year and is in the 28 percent incremental federal tax bracket. She takes her
children to day care every weekday, and she contributes the maximum annual contribution of $5,000 per year to her
Dependent Care FSA. This is what she will save by participating in the FSA.

WITH FSA WITHOUT FSA

Annual Salary $40,000 $40,000

Pretax Day Care Expenses 5,000 0

Taxable Salary $35,000 $40,000

Taxes 9,800 11,200

Posttax Day Care Expenses 0 5,000

Spendable Pay $25,200 $23,800

Tax Savings (excluding any state or local tax savings): $1,400

This example assumes that Michelle will spend $5,000 on dependent care expenses during the coming calendar year. Column 1
reflects her spendable income with the FSA; column 2 reflects her spendable income without the FSA. The savings are considerable.

For this example, we assumed that Michelle pays 28 percent in federal, state, and local income taxes and Social Security taxes.
Your actual tax percentage could be higher or lower, based on your annual salary.
