Employees in Military Service

Supporting our soldiers at home and abroad

Basin Electric Power Cooperative and its subsidiaries support our employees who are on active duty and also employees who may have an immediate family member on active duty who has sustained an injury while on duty or is recovering from a serious illness.

In 2010 Basin Electric was honored to be among 30 finalists for 2010 U.S. Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award.

"Basin Electric has been beyond supportive
from every level. I am astonished at how
well the organization takes care of its military
employees, from allowing additional days off
to train for the deployment, to preparing for
the transition of duties while I am away, to
the continuation of benefit and reassurance
of seamless re-employment upon my return.

~ Kimberly Miller, Basin Electric tax analyst
{1st Lieutenant, recently served in Kosovo}

The award is the U.S. Government's highest recognition given to employers for exceptional support of their employees serving in the Guard and Reserve. Basin Electric was selected from more than 2,500 nominations submitted for the award.

Thousands of U.S. employers were nominated for outstanding support of Guard and Reserve employees, which included providing full salary, continuation of benefits, care packages and even family support to employees fulfilling their military obligation.

Our support for employees on active duty is part of our commitment to America.
