Re: How Good Are Your Employer's Benefits?
I have a state job - I am lucky too and I know it, especially after working for a non-profit previously.
My benefits are based on my half-time schedule.
I accrue 4 hours vacation time and sick time per pay period times 13 pay periods = 52 hours of each, or just over 2.5 weeks of each based on my schedule.
All state holidays + floating holidays several times a year (i.e. Election Day - we have to work but can take the holiday hours to use another day)
20 hours per year of personal time (one week)
great salary!!!!
health insurance is $94 for family coverage, co-pays just got bumped to $18 for 2007 - still a lot better than when we were on DH's plan
free vision and dental coverage, although it doesn't cover much unless you go to one of the plan providers
pension, deferred compensation
FSA and Dependent Care account ($500 employer contribution for this one)
many additional benefits offered through union: cheap life insurance, disability insurance, discount tickets on entertainment/cell phone/car insurance, reimbursement for civil service exams, etc.
I believe they will also pay for college, if it's related to your job
Probably a lot more that I haven't even thought of...
