Employee Benefits

Preventive Care is paid at 100%. Covered preventive care services include immunizations and wellness visits for children, routine preventive exams for adults, adult immunizations and routine screenings.

A Health Savings Account (HSA) is offered to pay for covered services that are subject to the deductible. After the deductible is satisfied, the CDHP pays 100% of all covered benefits for in-network providers.

Healthy rewards are available to engage and encourage members to improve and maintain their health.

Unitil’s Community Service Benefit is eight hours of paid leave each year to participate in volunteer, community service activities. 

Each employee is encouraged to find an activity they can do by themselves or with a group, remotely or in person. The benefit can be taken in two-hour increments or all at once. The ideas are endless, only limited by our employees' passions.

Each year Unitil selects a high school student from each of our service territories to win a scholarship to further their education in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). As part of this program, an additional STEM Scholarship is awarded each year to the child of a Unitil employee.
