Benefits for Part-Time Employees

wendypruitt

We are looking into offering our part-time employees an updated benefit package. Currently, pt employees only receive one week of paid vacation and eligibility to participate in both of our retirement plans after one full yr. of service. Does anyone out there offer their pt employees insurance or holiday pay? We have been hearing a lot more about employers offering long-term employees who want to go from a ft status to a pt status better incentives in order to keep them on board. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Anyone working at least 20 hours per week qualifies for our benefits. The medical and dental premiums are prorated based on their hours. After 2 years of service, they also earn vacation based on total hours worked in the previous year. 1300+ hrs = 6 days (45.6 hrs), 1040-1300 hrs = 4 days (30.4 hrs). No vacation for less than 1040 hours. Their holiday pay is also dependent on the number of hours worked in the previous year. 1300+ hrs = 5.5 hrs, 1040-1300 = 4.5 hrs. They do not get holiday pay if they worked less than 1040 hours the previous year.

Employees must be scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week to be eligible for paid annual, personal and sick leave. Earned paid leave "days" are commensurate with the part-time employee's scheduled daily hours.

Note: The number of annual leave "days" an employee can earn/accrue per year is formula-driven and is a function of the employee's length of service.

Union employees must be scheduled to work at least 26 hours per week to be eliglble for health insurance benefits.

Non-Union employees must be scheduled to work at least 35 hours per week to be eligible for health insurance benefits.

We used to offer pro-rated benefits, but no longer do so. We want less part-timers.
