Guide to Cerner Saudi
Arabia Benefits
Our Approach
Cerner offers a comprehensive set
of benefits to address your physical,
financial and emotional health. At
Cerner, we believe the foundation
for a successful career starts with a
variety of health, time, finance and
life options that meet your needs
while supporting a healthy lifestyle.
You are eligible to enroll in Cerner
Benefits on your first day of
employment.
Eligibility
Eligibility for Cerner Benefits will vary
by benefit. Generally, most
associates will be eligible for
Benefits. If a benefit provides
coverage for a dependent the
eligible dependents will generally
include your spouse and eligible
children.
Health
Your health and wellness play an
important role in your everyday life,
and it is important to be able to
receive quality and timely medical
care, no matter when– or where, you
need it. The Cigna health plan
provides you access to care in the
event of a routine or emergency
medical situation. Your Cigna health
benefits provide portable and
comprehensive medical coverage
that offers you the flexibility to
access care from the provider of
your choice anywhere in the world.
Coverage levels and payment
responsibilities may differ
depending on the country in which
you access care.
Your health coverage begins on your
first day of employment and is
available to you and eligible
dependents. Within the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) use the
Saudi Arabian Insurance Company
(SAICO) network card to receive your
best benefits. This coverage is in
addition to your Cigna global health
care. Through SAICO, you’ll receive
top-notch, hassle-free health care
while in the United Arab Emirates,
Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia
and Oman. If you stay in-network,
your medical expenses are covered at
100 percent. Which means no bills
and no claims to file.
If you need health care outside the
SAICO network, use your CIGNA ID
card. Payment can be handled in two
ways. You can call Cigna to get a
guarantee of payment before an
appointment. Or you can simply pay
upfront and file a claim for
reimbursement using a CIGNA claim
form. Either way, you’ll get the care
that’s best for you no matter where
life takes you.

Simplicity, choice and flexibility in addressing
your health care, life, time and financial needs
This is a brief overview of Cerner’s benefit plans. For complete Plan details including eligibility requirements, see the Plan Documents on the HR Service Center
Knowledge Base. To review HR Policies (Time Off, Reimbursement, Absence and Leaves, etc) please see the Policies and Procedures section of the Knowledge Base.
Time Off
Annual leave time at the rate of 22
days per year will be available to
each associate on date of hire.
Annual leave allows for time off
from work for rest, relaxation,
vacation, personal holidays,
illnesses and other personal time
with pay. Vacation days are accrued
on a weekly basis.
Cerner recognizes 9 public holidays
per year when the offices will
officially be closed.
Leaves
Cerner’s success is a result of the
full commitment each associate
makes to our vision. Occasionally
associates experience situations
that require them to be away from
their work. Cerner provides a
comprehensive set of absence
policies to allow associates the
ability to balance personal and work
needs– including illness, funeral
and bereavement time, office
closing, personal leave and other
time away from work.
Cerner’s sick leave policy allows
eligible associates to be absent
from work while maintaining
continuity of service during periods
of sick leave. Paid sick leave is
provided to you by Cerner when you
are absent from work due to your
own personal illness or injury.
Providing you satisfy all the
qualifying conditions, Paid Sick
Leave is an earnings replacement
benefit. Cerner’s Paid Sick Leave is
inclusive of any statutory wage to
which you may be entitled, and is
not in addition to statutorily required
wages or any other illness policy.
Please notify your manager of your
sickness at a minimum within one
hour of your normal scheduled work
day on the first day of incapacity.
Upon your fourth day out of the
office, you are required to submit a
medical certificate, in the form of
the Extended Medical Leave of
Absence Authorization Form from
your attending physician. In the
event you fail to do so, Cerner will
assume that you have been absent
from work without justification,
wherein the company will then be
entitled to take appropriate
disciplinary action.
