For our parttime staff, we offer paid sick time, vacation time, and medical, dental, vision, life, AD&D, and LTD insurance. For those between 20 and 30 hours per week, the premiums are prorated on all except the life. We pay that. Of course, staff pays for any dependent coverage. We don’t have employer match for 403b (we’re a nonprofit) and we don’t have EAP. And, starting with this insurance year, we have 2 HMO’s and a PPO. If staff enroll in the renewed HMO from last year, there is a higher co-pay and a “buy up” share of the premium – staff pays $39 and company pays $39 per month of that difference. Pro-ration also applies to sick and vacation time. The PPO has also had a “buy up” differential for several years. We do also have IRS 125 plans for medical and child care. The minimum hours per week is 20 for all the above, except the 403b plan, which requires 17.5 hours per week.

Oops. Forgot. We also give our part-timers who work over 30 hours a week paid vacation and paid sick time.

We offer our part-time employees who work at least 30 hours a week the exact same benefits as our full time employees. This includes, group health, dental, and vision, life insurance, long-term disability insurance, 401k, pension, and a employee assistance program. All employees contribute a minamal amount towards their health and dental premiums whether they are enrolled in single, emp +1, or family coverage.

We offer our part-time associates (who make up 85% of our workforce) paid vacation (based on # hours worked previous year), group health insurance (but the worker pays 100%), short-term disability, Employee Assistance Program, and 401K. However, we are reviewing the 401K. The numbers of hourlies participating is so few compared to the Salaried that it is causing issues with passing the testing.
