Dental Insurance


Republic Bank offers Associates the Delta Premier PPO Plus plan through Delta Dental of Kentucky. The dental plan is a unique blend of Delta Dental's Premier and Preferred provider networks. If you use a dentist from the Preferred provider network, your out-of-pocket costs are lower because these network providers offer a greater discount for their services. All Full-Time and eligible Part-Time Associates are eligible to participate effective on their first day of employment.

Vision Plan


Full-Time and eligible Part-Time Associates are eligible on their first day of employment for a comprehensive vision plan through Humana Vision Care.

Flexible Medical and Dependent Care Spending Accounts


Flexible Spending Accounts provide tax advantages that can help pay health care and dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis. Limited Purpose FSA plans are designed to work in conjunction with Health Savings Accounts for Associates enrolled in a High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP). By anticipating your family's health care and dependent care costs for the next year, you can lower your taxable income. Full-Time Associates are eligible to participate effective on their first day of employment.

In this way, you share in the Corporation's financial performance. The ESPP allows you to set aside between $10 to $490 from each paycheck, on an after-tax basis over a 3-month offering period. The stock is purchased at a 15% discount on the stock price at the end of the 3-month offering period using your contributions.
