Benefits Available to Our Working Team Members
DIRECT DEPOSIT
One of our most popular benefits, direct deposit of employee paychecks is arranged by providing the required information to the staff
member directing your employment. There is no waiting period for this benefit, and you may use the financial institution of your
choice. This benefit was designed and offered in response to our employees' suggestions. Personnel Partners is currently the only area
staffing service to administer the direct deposit option; a fact that we think demonstrates our desire to be responsive to our employees'
needs and to make staffing employment a workable option for the growing numbers of candidates who turn to this industry. A Direct
Deposit request form is available on the Jobs/Resources page.
PAID HOLIDAYS
Employees on assignment are eligible for paid holidays after 600 hours of employment, provided that these hours are worked in the
one year period immediately preceding the holiday. (In order to receive holiday pay, you must work at least 20 scheduled hours within
both the week prior to and after that holiday.) These six paid holidays are recognized by Personnel Partners:
New Year's Day
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
When eligible, you will receive your regular rate of pay times your regular workday's hours.
VACATION PAY
Vacation pay is earned after 2000 hours of employment. The hours will be cumulative from employee's start date with Personnel
Partners and must occur within two successive years preceding the request. One week's vacation refers to 40 hours paid at current
rate of pay. This compensation can be taken regardless of whether time off work is taken, since a client's permission must be obtained
in order to take time off a scheduled assignment. Vacation pay does not accrue for partial years nor can it be taken in partial
increments.
MEDICAL INSURANCE
There is no reason to sacrifice the protection of medical insurance benefits while working on assignment. Comprehensive
employee-paid medical insurance coverage is available immediately upon employment. Personnel Partners' membership in the
American Staffing Association gives our employees access to one of the lowest-cost options available. An employee's insurance plan is
voluntary and customized and may include:
SHORT-TERM COVERAGE ideal for those who are between medical plans. Coverage can be purchased for as few as 35 days or as
many as 185 days with NO waiting period. The employee may select a deductible, frequency of payment, and the health insurance
provider(s) of his/her choice. If the employee has no preferred provider, medical bills can be reduced by selecting a provider from the
plans PCHS network, which includes many local doctors and hospitals. This plans protects an employee and his/her family (if
dependent coverage is chosen) in the event of unexpected illness or injury. There is no need to take the risk of going uninsured while
working on temporary assignments, and this coverage may be repeated as needed for additional periods of time.
LONG-TERM COVERAGE is available to those who choose the flexibility of temporary or contract work as a career. Because of your
affiliation with Personnel Partners, you may apply for an excellent long-term major medical insurance plan and save the worry of how
to find benefits to support your career choice.
To find out more about this coverage, ask a staff member, visit www.pallayinsurance.com/staffing, or call 1-888-549-8533 to speak to a
representative personally. As healthcare reforms continue to be implemented, we will keep a close eye on options that apply to
temporary employees. It is certainly possible that the information you read today will be replaced by other options even within the
next year; however, we believe this to be an agency and insurer who will keep up with the times.
