Qatar Benefits

Our Approach

Cerner offers a comprehensive set

of benefits to address your physical,

financial and emotional health. At

Cerner, we believe the foundation

for a successful career starts with a

variety of health, time, finance and

life options that meet your needs

while supporting a healthy lifestyle.

You are eligible to enroll in Cerner

Benefits on your first day of

employment.

Eligibility

Eligibility for Cerner Benefits will vary

by benefit. Generally, most

associates will be eligible for

Benefits. If a benefit provides

coverage for a dependent the

eligible dependents will generally

include your spouse and eligible

children.

Health

Your health and wellness play an

important role in your everyday life,

and it is important to be able to

receive quality and timely medical

care, no matter when– or where, you

need it. The Cigna health plan

provides you access to care in the

event of a routine or emergency

medical situation. Your Cigna health

benefits provide portable and

comprehensive medical coverage

that offers you the flexibility to

access care from the provider of

your choice anywhere in the world.

Coverage levels and payment

responsibilities may differ

depending on the country in which

you access care.

Your health coverage begins on your

first day of employment and is

available to you and eligible

dependents. Within the Gulf

Cooperation Council (GCC) use the

Saudi Arabian Insurance Company

(SAICO) network card to receive your

best benefits. This coverage is in

addition to your Cigna global health

care. Through SAICO, you’ll receive

top-notch, hassle-free health care

while in the United Arab Emirates,

Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia

and Oman. If you stay in-network,

your medical expenses are covered at

100 percent. Which means no bills

and no claims to file.

If you need health care outside the

SAICO network, use your CIGNA ID

card. Payment can be handled in two

ways. You can call Cigna to get a

guarantee of payment before an

appointment. Or you can simply pay

upfront and file a claim for

reimbursement using a CIGNA claim

form. Either way, you’ll get the care

that’s best for you no matter where

life takes you.

Wellness

In order to promote healthy lifestyles,

Cerner offers a variety of wellness

benefits including:

Flu Shot Reimbursement

Steps challenge

Wellness classes

These wellness programs offer a

variety of incentives to encourage you

and your family to achieve optimal

health goals. To track your progress

and create a personal health record

Dental and Vision

The Cigna plan covers dental

preventative care at 100%, basic care

at 80% and major care at 50%. Eye

exams are covered at 100% once per

year and supplies are covered up to

US $100 per 12 months.

Health Club Reimbursement

Cerner encourages healthy lifestyles

and offers a health club

reimbursement program for athletic

club membership dues at approved

facilities. Associates may be

reimbursed for 50% of monthly fees

up to a maximum of QAR 2300 per

year.

Simplicity, choice and flexibility in addressing

your health care, life, time and financial needs

This is a brief overview of Cerner’s benefit plans. For complete Plan details including eligibility requirements, see the Plan Documents on the HR Service Center

Knowledge Base. To review HR Policies (Time Off, Reimbursement, Absence and Leaves, etc) please see the Policies and Procedures section of the Knowledge Base.

Time Off

Annual leave time at the rate of 22

days per year will be available to

each associate on date of hire.

Annual leave allows for time off from

work for rest, relaxation, vacation,

personal holidays, illnesses and

other personal time with pay.

Vacation days are accrued on a

weekly basis.

Cerner recognizes 9 public holidays

per year when the offices will

officially be closed.

Leaves

Cerner’s success is a result of the

full commitment each associate

makes to our vision. Occasionally

associates experience situations

that require them to be away from

their work. Cerner provides a

comprehensive set of absence

policies to allow associates the

ability to balance personal and work

needs– including illness, funeral

and bereavement time, office

closing, personal leave and other

time away from work.

Cerner’s sick leave policy allows

eligible associates to be absent from

work while maintaining continuity of

service during periods of sick leave.

Paid sick leave is provided to you by

Cerner when you are absent from

work due to your own personal

illness or injury. Providing you satisfy

all the qualifying conditions, Paid

Sick Leave is an earnings

replacement benefit. Cerner’s Paid

Sick Leave is inclusive of any

statutory wage to which you may be

entitled, and is not in addition to

statutorily required wages or any

other illness policy.

Please notify your manager of your

sickness at a minimum within one

hour of your normal scheduled work

day on the first day of incapacity.

Upon your fourth day out of the

office, you are required to submit a

medical certificate, in the form of

the Extended Medical Leave of

Absence Authorization Form from

your attending physician. In the

event you fail to do so, Cerner will

assume that you have been absent

from work without justification,

wherein the company will then be

entitled to take appropriate

disciplinary action.
