CIS Launches Employee Student Loan Repayment Benefit
East Greenbush, NY
July 2019
“Student loans are a concern for many of our current employees and new hires. We are pleased to be able to partner with Gradifi to provide this enhancement to our employee benefits program,” said CIS President and CEO John Gilligan. “Beginning August 2019, CIS will be contributing directly to employees’ student loans on a monthly basis to help them reduce their debt,” he added.
CIS is joining the ranks of some of the most progressive companies in the country, companies like Peloton, PWC, and Honeywell, in providing next generation benefits to support their employees.
CIS made the decision to implement this new Student Loan Plan benefit after receiving feedback from staff, and learning that helping to pay for staff student loans would alleviate a significant source of financial and personal stress for employees of all ages.
