• Our employees are even covered across the nation.
• You may be able to receive benefits as early as your 2nd month of employment, if eligible.
• Our programs are easy for you to access.

We make it easier on your checkbook when you are sick.  With this account, you can pay your out-of-pocket and dependent care expenses like health care, co-pays, orthodontia, medical supplies, over the counter drugs, even day care and nannies with your paycheck before you pay your taxes. All you have to do is send us a simple fax request and we’ll deposit a reimbursement directly into your account within three days.  It’s that simple.

Life is hard.  We know it.  We can help you with a broad range of life’s personal challenges and we keep it all confidential.

Alaska Communications cares about your health and well-being.  We know that you need to have a balance of work and play in your life to be healthy and perform your best for us.  So, we help you get there.  Here’s how:

• We give you generous Flexible Time Off Accruals.  You can use your day off, or you can save it for another time. 
• We offer Personal Holidays, Traditional Holidays and time for Bereavement and Military Leave.

If you are a part-time regular or full-time employee based in Alaska, Alaska Communications contributes a percentage of your base salary every month to the Alaska Electrical Pension Plan. And, we do it with your pre-tax dollars.

A 401(k) is a perfect partner to a Pension Plan. You control how much you want to save, where you want to invest your money, and how to pay yourself with your money. And, we put aside your pre-tax dollars for you.  For our employees working outside of Alaska, we match your contribution up to 6%.

Alaska Communications Systems gives you insurance benefits that are equal to your annual basic salary, up to $50,000 for each benefit.

We help take care of you if you become disabled.  Alaska Communications Systems gives you benefits at 50% of your monthly salary up to $6,000 per month.

We’re happy to help you protect your family. That’s why we offer competitive rates for you to buy additional life insurance if it’s something you feel your family needs.  And, to make it easier for you, we offer payroll deduction to cover the cost.

We offer you the option to buy long term care coverage for you or your eligible dependents.  As with our other benefits, we offer competitive rates to keep the cost down, and payroll deduction to make payments easy.

You work here.  We want you to share in our success.  So, we make it simple for you to own a part of our company.  We give you the chance to buy Alaska Communications Systems stock at a 15% discount off the market value.  You can begin owning your share of our company at the start or the end of a six-month offering period, whichever has the lower cost.  You can purchase stock twice a year.  We make the payments easy with payroll deduction.  And, we let you manage your account online.

We want you to tell your friends and family about the great products we have at Alaska Communications Systems. And, we help make it easy for you to enjoy them.  We give you a 20% discount on all of our services.  So, talk, text and surf for less – on us.  Now, that’s something to talk about.

You’re smart.  We want to help you get smarter.  If you work for us full-time, we’ll reimburse you for the classes you take that help you do you work for us. We’ll pay you back up to $5,250 per year.  But, work hard and keep your grades at “C” or above.

If you’re saving for college for yourself or your family members, we help you save your money -- tax-free.  We’ll refer you to our friends at Smith Barney.  And, you can put aside your money by payroll deduction.
