8 Exceptional Benefits at Clickstop

Investing in Our People

What makes a company great?

We believe it’s our people who drive us forward, who embody our core values, and who bring our mission to life. That’s why we are deeply committed to supporting their short-term needs and long-term success through benefits that prioritize well-being, growth, and stability.

We see benefits as investments in the lives of our team members. We are a team of employee-owners committed to creating a business that is enjoyable, sustainable, and provides opportunity for those who seek it. When our team thrives, so does our company.

Here’s a look at some of the benefits we offer to support our employee-owners in every aspect of their lives:

1. Healthcare at $0 Premium Cost for Employees

Healthcare coverage is costly.

At Clickstop, we believe that health and well-being should be accessible to all, without financial strain. That’s why we are proud to offer a $0 premium healthcare plan for full-time, benefit-eligible employees and their families. Of the companies that PDCM Insurance works with on employee benefits, Clickstop is unique in offering this no-cost option to both employees AND their families.

In addition to the $0 premium high-deductible plan, we offer a more traditional co-pay insurance plan which also remains affordable to full-time, benefit eligible employees local to the state of Iowa and ensures the maximum an employee will pay for their healthcare is comparable to the $0 premium plan.

For more than a decade, our plan has remained the same and we have no intention of changing it.  

We also layer on top of our insurance plans a no-cost telehealth service that provides urgent care medical care to our employees and their families within minutes of requesting an appointment.

These benefits are part of our commitment to investing in the immediate well-being of our team, ensuring that physical health is never compromised due to cost. 

2. Telehealth Services to More Easily Prioritize Mental Health

“Securing an appointment with a mental health professional in the United States continues to be a challenge, with wait times for an in-person appointment north of 2 months”

We understand that mental health is as important as physical health, and timely support can make all the difference.

Our commitment to well-being extends through telehealth counseling services, offering our full-time benefit-eligible employees easy access to mental health resources. Employees can book therapy appointments in just a few days, removing the frustration of sometimes months-long wait times and ensuring they get support when they need it. When employees or their family members need to talk to someone, waiting weeks or months won’t cut it.

Whether they need guidance on personal issues or help to manage life’s challenges, Clickstop is here to support our team’s well-being by investing in accessible mental health services.

3. Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and Generous 401(k) Match

Imagine building your future with a retirement benefit that costs you nothing out of pocket.

At Clickstop, our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)

provides eligible full-time and part-time employees with shares of company stock at no cost to them. This eligibility is a unique opportunity. It not only gives employees ownership in the company but also allows them to play a direct role in shaping its financial success. As the business grows, so does the value of the shares in employees’ ESOP accounts, creating a potentially life-changing retirement opportunity.

This has the potential to be a life-changing retirement benefit without requiring any financial contribution from the employee. Combined with our generous 401(k) match of up to 4%, Clickstop offers all employees two powerful pathways to build long-term wealth while having a tangible impact on the company’s future.

4. PTO and Leave for Balance and Well-Being

At Clickstop, we believe in our Core Value of Making Time for Fun & Family.

We know that time off is essential for health, happiness, and productivity, so we offer a variety of PTO and leave options to help our employees recharge and stay connected with what matters most. Our benefits include:

• 9 paid holidays for regular full-time and eligible part-time employees
• 15 days of PTO for new regular full-time employees
• 20 days of PTO after 5 years of employment for regular full-time employees
• 25 hours of PTO for eligible part-time employees, after 1 year of employment
• 12 hours of Wellness PTO for regular full-time employees to use for wellness-related appointments for personal or family use
• 12 hours of volunteer time for regular full-time and part-time employees to give back to the community
• Veterans PTO to honor employees who have served, with 5 hours for part-time and 8 hours for full-time employees

We’re committed to supporting our team in balancing work, life, and community. These options help employees stay engaged and energized, so they can truly make time for fun, family, and the things that matter most.

5. Comprehensive Parental Leave and Dependent Care

Another way we Make Time for Fun & Family is by ensuring our regular, full-time benefit-eligible employees have the support they need to focus on their family when it matters most. Our comprehensive parental leave policy provides:

• Maternity: 2 weeks of paid leave if employed less than 1 year and 10 weeks of paid leave after 1 year of service
• Paternity: 20 days of paid leave for full-time
• Adoption: 10 days of paid leave for part-time and 20 days of paid leave for full-time

To further support our working parents, we also offer the option to enroll in a dependent care account to help ease the cost of childcare. This commitment to family-friendly benefits allows our team to manage their responsibilities with peace of mind, knowing they have the flexibility and resources they need at work and at home.

6. Paid Sabbaticals for Long-Term Rest and Reflection

We understand the value of taking time to recharge, reflect, and pursue personal growth. That’s why we offer our full-time, benefit eligible employees with paid and partially paid sabbaticals, allowing long-term team members to step away, explore new interests, or simply rest.

• After 5 years, full-time employees have the option of a 4–12-week sabbatical, during which Clickstop pays 20% of their wage for the duration.
• Following their 10th employment anniversary, full-time employees are eligible for a 4-week sabbatical during which Clickstop pays 100% of their wage for the duration.
• Employees are then eligible for another 4-week sabbatical following their 20-year employment anniversary.

Whether it’s after 5, 10, or 20+ years with us, this benefit recognizes the dedication of our team and provides the space for rejuvenation and reflection. By investing in our employees’ well-being, we’re supporting their ability to bring fresh ideas, energy, and enthusiasm back to their work — helping both them and the company to thrive.

7. No-Cost Benefits for Safeguarding the Long-Term

At Clickstop, we go beyond the basics to provide our full-time benefit-eligible employees with essential protections at no cost.

We believe in safeguarding the future of our team members and their families, which is why we offer a range of benefits designed to provide peace of mind and support in challenging times. Our no-cost benefits package includes short-term disability, long-term disability coverage that extends until retirement age, and Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) insurance. Additionally, we have guaranteed life insurance coverage not only for employees but also for their spouses and children.

These benefits reflect our commitment to investing in the long-term well-being of our employees, ensuring that they are supported in every phase of life and can focus on their careers with confidence and security.

8. Learning & Development Opportunities

Growth and improvement are key components of both personal and professional success.

To support our employees’ career journeys, we invest in Learning & Development programs that provide valuable skills training, leadership development, and specialized education. Through workshops, leadership programs, and access to resources, we encourage our employees to pursue their goals and unlock new potential.

This benefit isn’t just about career advancement; it’s about building confidence and equipping our team with the tools to innovate, contribute, and succeed. We’re invested in our people’s future because their growth fuels our company’s growth.
