Hoping the board can help me. I am brand new. I just got hired in WA state in a non food area. I am wondering how benefits work? Meaning do I have to work a minimum amount of hours on a weekly basis - pt12, pt20 etc? Or is it just when I reach a certain amount of hours total that benefits begin? Is there a link or other type of information that I can access? Do the benefits only cover myself or my family as well?
Depends on your CBA. For health insurance, you usually need either 1 year of work or x amount of hours worked and then you need to maintain x amount of hours per week (I think it's 20, some also use an average per month). PTO is 1 week after a year, 2 weeks after 3, 3 weeks 10 years, 4 weeks 20 years I believe (older contracts are better). Holiday pay is like 1 or 2 holidays, older contracts get more again. No matching 401k for associates.
