1 Year of Service
Powering the world takes a dedicated team sharing the same values, vision, and mission for our company, people, and community. Together, we work hard, support each other, celebrate personal and work milestones, and take pride in our products, but most importantly, we treat each other like family.
Team ERMCO has a long history of service locally, nationally, and internationally and we support and encourage employees to participate in community organizations, charities, health and wellness, and educational initiatives. Since 2019, we've contributed over $150,000 to various organizations in our surrounding communities.
Every year, ERMCO employees pack food boxes for needy families in surrounding communities during the holiday season. In addition, money for the food donations is raised during ERMCO's annual employee silent auction.
The accolades we receive are a testament to our great employees and supportive work environment. Our employees are the lifeblood of our company. They go above and beyond to achieve goals, carry out our mission of powering the world, and influence our customers. They reduce costs and boost sales and revenue.
ERMCO employees James Baker, Phillip Holland, and Kurt Wells celebrated 106 years of combined service in early 2021. Baker, after 35+ years of service, and Holland, after 39+ years of service, have since retired from ERMCO. Wells has 32+ years and still enjoys working at ERMCO.

WHY NOT THE BEST!
ERMCO’s intent is to keep all team members safe, healthy, and productive. ‘Safety First’ in the workplace begins on the first day you become a team member within the company.
Purpose:
ERMCO’s goal is to provide a safe and healthy work environment for their employees. General Facility Safety Rules have been developed to address potential unsafe hazards and unsafe conditions. This is to protect our most valuable asset, our team members! It is the responsibility of ERMCO to provide a safe work environment and it is the responsibility of each employee to work safe, follow the established safety rules, and to report any unsafe acts/conditions including close call/near miss incidents.
Safety Policy:
ERMCO is committed to safeguarding employees from the potential hazards of our operations; providing safe products to our customers; and complying with all applicable statutes, regulations, and ordinances. We strive for the highest level of safety performance.
Safety Rules:
Individual departments have safety rules specific to the hazards associated within the specific work area and are addressed in separate guidelines as well as specific workplace safety programs.
ERMCO is an Equal Opportunity Employer. ERMCO is a covered employer under the Family Medical Leave Act. Please review the attached posting for information regarding your rights and responsibilities under the FMLA.

ERMCO offers each team member a well-rounded program of insurance protection which includes life, hospitalization, surgical, disability income, maternity benefits, and benefits for injuries or illnesses not connected with work. ERMCO makes it possible for team members to extend certain coverage to their eligible dependents as well.
The premium cost to each team member is made available at a substantial savings due to the overall group insurance policy and rates.
ERMCO currently pays 92% of individual team member premiums and 85% of family premiums so the cost to the team member for insurance coverage is considerably lower than the cost when obtained elsewhere for the the same type of coverage.
ERMCO provides you with two important ways to accumulate financial resources for the future. Our Retirement Savings Pension plan is a defined benefit pension that the company contributes to 100%, and the plan remains fully funded year over year. You can also participate in our 401(k) plan, which provides an additional 2% of matching, provided you contribute just 1% of your eligible earnings.
We believe it is crucial to provide you with time off for relaxation, recreation, or to attend to other personal needs. Therefore, we provide time off for holidays, vacations, sicknesses, and particular time allowances such as bereavement and jury duty. ERMCO also offers several other paid and unpaid leaves of absence, such as disability leave, military leave, family/medical leave, and personal leave.
Medical
The ERMCO Health Plan provides you with a vast network of providers, very affordable co-pays, and low premiums. We also offer Flexible Spending Accounts to set aside pre-tax dollars for out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, full-time employees can enroll in the program with benefits beginning on their first day of employment.
Dental
We offer a comprehensive dental plan with a choice of two options. Full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the program with benefits beginning on their first day of employment.
Vision
Whether you need an eye exam or laser vision correction, the Vision Care Plan offers you an array of covered services and eye care products. Full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the plan with benefits beginning on their first day of employment.
You are eligible to participate in the Dependent Care Reimbursement Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Plan. Full-time employees are eligible to enroll in the plan during each open enrollment.
Take courses, earn a degree, and advance your career. ERMCO makes it easy with our tuition reimbursement plan. With your manager’s approval, the program reimburses you 50% of the cost for undergraduate and graduate courses, technical training, and more. You’re eligible for the plan once you’ve been a full-time ERMCO employee for at least six months.
Short-term disability insurance is invaluable if you become sick or disabled and can’t work for a short period. Full-time employees are eligible immediately upon their date of hire.
Long-term disability insurance is invaluable if you become sick or disabled and can’t work for an extended period. Full-time employees are eligible immediately upon their hire date, and benefits are payable after six months of continuous disability.
We believe in recognizing and appreciating each other for the energy, effort, pride, and passion we bring to work every day. Our new employee recognition program, Awardco, is currently in the implementation phase and will be active in December 2021. It is just one of the multiple ways we accomplish this. Through Awardco, you will have the opportunity to receive points redeemable for thousands of awards of your choosing. You can also exchange positive feedback with your peers and receive recognition from your team lead.
Life insurance can be an essential component of your financial plan-especially if someone relies on you financially. The ERMCO Company paid Life Insurance Plan provides eligible employees with two x’s annual base salary. Employees are eligible to enroll in the plan with benefits beginning on their first day of employment.
ERMCO’s AD&D Plan provides coverage for accidents resulting in death or dismemberment equaling up to four x’s annual base salary. Employees are eligible to enroll in the plan with benefits beginning on their first day of employment.
ERMCO offers additional life insurance coverage (up to five x’s base annual salary) at group rates for all employees, spouses, and dependent children. Employees are eligible to enroll in the plan with benefits beginning on their first day of employment.
