Benefits-Part-time employees: All part-time employees are automatically covered under the state- and federally-mandated benefits of unemployment insurance and workers compensation. Premiums for these coverages are paid by the employer.

Benefits-Full-time employees: All employees who meet the definition of a full-time employee automatically receive the following benefits: workers compensation, unemployment insurance, term life insurance/accidental death and dismemberment, long-term disability, and pension. Premiums for these coverages are paid by the employer. 

They also have the option of participating in our medical and dental insurance plans. The responsibility for payment of premiums for these items is negotiated between the employer and the employee.
