Non-Profit Benefits

2834419

I am the ED of a small non-profit( annual budget $300,000 3 FT and 2 PT employees) in Connecticut. I am reviewing our benefits package and would appreciate input from non-profits similar in size and staff. Specifically, vacation, sick time, personal time, health ins., etc. Also, do you offer benefits to your part time staff?

I started at this non-profit 15 years ago with 28 employees. At that time we gave 13 holidays, 12 days vacation the first year (on up to 4 weeks), 12 days sick leave, 85% paid toward medical premiums, paid life insurance. Our budget was at that time around $300,000. Today, we have changed some of the benefits - 12 holidays - 12 days vacation (can't use it until you've been here 6 months), on up to 6 weeks, 6 days sick leave (capped at 30 days). 80% paid toward medical premiums for the employees (50% for family). We still have paid life insurance, a FSA, 25% match on retirement. Our salaries aren't high, but I still think our benefits are great. Our budget is $5.5 million now. Employees appreciate the benefits, hiring and retention are the problems now. We don't provide any benefits to part-time employees; encourging our employees to become full-time. Hope this helps.
