PAUL HASTINGS 2023 Employee Benefits Program
This overview and other plan summaries only describe the highlights of our
benefit programs. They do not create any enforceable rights. You may only rely
on the official plan documents, available on our intranet
at http://portal/administrative/talentmanagement/benefits/Pages/default.aspx
or from Benefits-Firmwide. The firm has reserved the right to change or
terminate its benefit programs at any time.
ELIGIBILITY & ENROLLMENT
This guide provides an overview of the benefits offered by Paul Hastings to support the physical, emotional and financial health of our employees and their families. The firm regularly evaluates its benefits to ensure equality and inclusivity for all employees. Where useful, this guide calls out benefits and services that may be of interest to our LGBTQ+ community.
ELIGIBILITY
All full time U.S. employees (30 or more hours/week or 70% work schedule for
attorneys) are immediately benefit-eligible, except temporary employees,
project employees and summer associates. Generally, you must enroll in
elective benefits within 30 days after you become an eligible employee. If you
do not, you may enroll during Open Enrollment for the subsequent January 1.
Mid-year enrollment and election changes are only permitted under limited
circumstances.
INITIAL ENROLLMENT
If you enroll when first eligible (either as a new hire or within 30 days of
becoming benefit-eligible), your coverages generally go into effect on the
first day of the first calendar month on which you first become benefit-
eligible. For example, if you are hired as a full-time employee on May 5, your
coverages are effective June 1.
You may elect to enroll your family members under age 26 in select coverages.
You must provide copies of your marriage certificate, birth certificates,
etc., within 30 days of becoming benefit-eligible.
MEDICAL COVERAGE FOR PART-TIME EMPLOYEES
If you are regarded as a part-time employee but you have 130 hours of service
in a calendar month and otherwise would not be excluded from the U.S. Health
Plan (e.g., because you are a foreign employee), you may enroll in medical
coverage and/or enroll in an HSA (not dental/vision or any other firm-
sponsored coverages) during the following calendar month and remain eligible
for the balance of the calendar year (while employed by the firm in a covered
position) even if you cease working at least 130 hours per month. If you are
regarded as part-time and you want to enroll in the firm’s medical coverage,
it is your obligation to apply in a timely manner and monitor your hours of
service. Contact Benefits-Firmwide@paulhastings.com to apply for benefits.
ANNUAL OPEN ENROLLMENT AND OTHER CHANGES
If you do not enroll in an elective coverage when you are first eligible, you
have the opportunity to enroll or change your benefit elections during the
Open Enrollment period, normally held in the fall, to be effective the
following January 1. Mid-year enrollment and election changes are permitted
under limited circumstances. Contact Benefits-Firmwide@paulhastings.com within
30 days if anyone becomes eligible for benefits.
TERMINATION OF BENEFITS
If you or a family member no longer meet the eligibility requirement for a
coverage, that coverage generally ends on the last day of the month in which
the status changed. (Please see plan docu-ments for specific coverage
termination details). You must notify Benefits-Firmwide@paulhastings.com
within 30 days if covered family member ceases to be eligible for benefits.
U.S. HEALTH PLAN
The U.S. Health Plan offers two comprehensive medical plan options that include prescription drug coverage. Under both options, you have the flexibility to see any qualified provider you wish. Generally, if you choose an in-network provider or facility, you will pay less. Both plans utilize the same Anthem network and both have the same covered benefits and exclusions. Information specific to gender-affirming healthcare is located in the U.S. Health Plan Document on page 80. The main difference between the plans is the cost sharing: deductible, coinsurance, and payroll contributions for coverage.
- CA: Blue Cross PPO (Prudent Buyer) – Large Group
- Non-CA: National PPO (Blue Card PPO)
HDHP
Under the HDHP, you must satisfy the annual deductible before the U.S. Health
Plan pays, including pharmacy. The only exception to this is certain
preventive care which is not subject to the deductible when received in-
network. If you are enrolled in the High Deductible plan, and meet certain
requirements, you are eligible to contribute to a Health Savings Account
(HSA). An HSA is a bank account that al- lows you to set aside money on a pre-
tax basis to pay for future qualified medical expenses. See additional details
on page 6.

TAX ADVANTAGED HEALTH ACCOUNTS
HEALTH SAVINGS ACCOUNT (HSA)
If you enroll in the High-Deductible Health Plan option, you may be eligible to make tax-exempt contributions to a health sav-ings account (HSA). The firm utilizes Health Equity to adminis-ter HSAs through your payroll deductions, but you may select another financial institution.
In order to contribute to an HSA, you must:
- Be enrolled in an HDHP;
- Not be enrolled in another non-HSA qualified health plan (for example, your spouse’s employer’s plan);
- Not be enrolled in Medicare, TRICARE or VA benefits;
- Not be claimed as a dependent on someone else’s tax return; and
- Not be covered by a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), including a spouse’s FSA that reimburses for medical services or medications prior to you meeting the IRS’ minimum HDHP deductible.
- The annual amount you elect to deduct through payroll contributions, if any, will be evenly deducted from all remaining pay periods after your election is submitted (up to a maximum of 26 pay periods).
- Unused funds roll over year-to-year, and are not forfeited. The funds are also portable, which means you continue to own the account if you leave the firm.
- Your enrollment in the HSA is not limited to your new hire event or open enrollment. You can enroll and change your HSA payroll elections (increase, decrease, or cease) throughout the year.
- Only expenses incurred after you have enrolled are eligible for reimbursement (this is a federal requirement).
- Your HSA funds can be used for expenses incurred by you and your IRS qualified tax dependents.
HEALTH PLAN ENROLLMENT | 2023 IRS ANNUAL MAXIMUM HSA CONTRIBUTION |
---|---|
Employee Only | $3,850 |
Employee + Family | $7,750 |
Age 55 Employee Catch-up Contribution | Add $1,000 |
FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT (FSA)
Our Flexible Spending Account (FSA) through Wex Benefits, helps you save on your out-of-pocket health care expenses, including medical, dental, vision and prescription expenses for you and your dependents. You decide at enrollment how much you want to put into this account, up to $3,050 (pre-tax). You make contributions through pre-tax payroll deductions in equal amounts throughout the year. All expenses must be incurred by December 31, 2023. Unused funds will be forfeited and will not carry over to the next year. If you are contributing to a Health Savings Account (HSA), you may still enroll in this FSA. Your annual FSA election may only be used for dental and vision expenses until you offer proof to Wex Benefits that you’ve met at least $1,500 of your HDHP deductible if enrolled as employee only, or $3,000 of your HDHP deductible if enrolled with dependents. Once proof is accepted by Wex, your FSA funds can be used to reimburse all qualified medical expenses.

Description on the portal. See http://portal/administrative/talent-
management/benefits/publications/pages/retirement.aspx.

- Hospital Admissions: $1,000 per confinement
