2016-17 Gainsharing Summary
- Gainsharing takes place when the self-funded medical and prescription plans result in a combined positive balance at year-end after the reserve accounts are funded and other expenses have been reconciled.
- The 2016-17 medical and prescription expenses (claims + administrative fees) were higher than expected. As a result, funds were moved from the medical and prescription reserve accounts to cover the higher than expected plan spend.
- With the negative self-funded medical and prescription balances and required 2017-18 reserve funding level, there will be no gain-sharing payments distributed this plan year.
- Many thanks to the employees who participated in the VirginPulse wellness reward program. Their involvement in the program makes CMU a healthier and more productive workplace.
