PAID TIME OFF (PTO)

BrS provides, as a benefit, paid vacations for all eligible employees, and is extremely flexible in approving time off when doing so would not interfere with mission requirements. BrS requests that employees provide notification to their customer and supervisor as soon as practical when taking PTO. A regular employee begins accruing PTO when first reporting for duty to their customer. Full-time employees will accrue 5.66 hours of PTO for every full pay period worked, up to a maximum accrual of 136 hours per calendar year. Any remaining accrued PTO may be accumulated or carried forward into the next year but cannot exceed 140 hours of carryover. PTO benefits do not accrue during any period of extended leave of absence. PTO in excess of 140 hours on 31 December of each year will be paid out.

 

WORKERS’ COMPENSATION

As required by law, BrS provides workers’ compensation benefits for the protection of employees with work-related injuries or illnesses. Report every illness or injury to a supervisor, regardless of how minor it appears. BrS will advise the employee of the procedure for submitting a workers’ compensation claim. A separate insurance company administers the BrS worker’s compensation insurance. Representatives of this company may contact injured employees regarding their benefits under the plan. Additional information regarding workers’ compensation is available from BrS Human Resources.

 

RETIREMENT PLAN

BrS participates in a 401(k) plan so that employees may save a portion of their earnings for retirement.
