    LIFE INSURANCE
     
    Each employee is provided with a term life insurance policy, at district expense, in the amount equal to 100% of the employee's annual base salary rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. Because you will be taxed on the premium value of your life insurance benefit over $50,000, you may wish to send Human Resources a signed letter requesting to cap your life insurance at $50,000.
