PAID TIME OFF:

All employees who work at least 40 hours per pay period are eligible for this benefit. New employees start with a zero balance but will begin accruing immediately. Employees may use PTO hours any time after they have been accrued. The amount of PTO hours employees accrue will be based upon the number of hours worked, the employee's years of service and their status. PTO hours include vacation time, holidays (see below), and sick time.

Casual and part-time (less than .9) employees are paid double pay up to 8 hours if they work on any of the following holidays: New Years, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving Day, Fourth of July, and time and a half for the extended holiday hours for Christmas. If a regular full-time employee works the holiday, the employee will be paid straight time for the holiday. In addition, the employee may request to be paid up to 8 hours of PTO.

HEALTH INSURANCE:

Health insurance through an HSA or traditional plan is offered to employees with premiums based on the employee's FTE. It is also available to family members of the employee at the employee's expense. Along with the insurance, employees also have an HSA option with an HSA plan. A Health Savings Account is a tax-advantaged account that, in conjunction with a qualified medical plan, allows you to pay medical expenses on a pre-tax basis.
