  • A one-time contribution to the Health Savings Account of $2500/$5000 for the first year of selection of HDHP if chosen in the  2014 or 2015 enrollment period , and with yearly contributions of $500/$1000.
  • Continued 50% NRG contribution to retiree medical premiums.
  • Reduced severance cap from 1.5 to 1.2 times yearly salary, effective Jan. 1, 2018.
  • Improved language on rest periods, jury duty, and equitable distribution of OT.
