We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. It is only through feedback such as yours, that we are able to maintain and when necessary, improve upon our practices here at the company.
We wanted to address a couple of your concerns specifically. We continuously look for ways to improve employee compensation and benefits, and this year employees will not see a price increase in their healthcare benefits, due to an employer contribution increase. We currently offer Voluntary Benefits to all full-time and part-time employees who work more than 15 hours a week, these include; Short Term Disability, Life Insurance, Accident Insurance, Bridge or Hospital Confinement Insurance, and Long-Term Disability Insurance. We also offer Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance, Paid Time Off, and Paid Holidays to full-time employees, after 90 days of employment. In addition, we have an Employee Perks Program that is available on our website, which offers our employees discounts to local cafes, gyms, and yoga studios, by showing their employee badge.
In reference to the loan forgiveness program, it is not based on employer participation but rather on the type of employer/organization. TWP is not an eligible employer under the federal student loan forgiveness program. (see eligibility info below)
Employment with the following types of organizations qualifies for PSLF:
· Government organizations at any level (federal, state, local, or tribal)
· Not-for-profit organizations that are tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the IRS
· Other types of not-for-profit organizations that are not tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, if their primary purpose is to provide certain types of qualifying public services. Serving as a full-time AmeriCorps or Peace Corps volunteer also counts as qualifying employment for the PSLF Program.
The following types of employers do not qualify for PSLF:
· Labor unions
· Partisan political organizations
· For-profit organizations (this includes for-profit government contractors)
· Not-for-profit organizations that are not tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and that do not provide a qualifying public service as their primary function
TSS’s are given the opportunity to continue working over the summer, since new clients are being referred every day, and there are plenty of hours that need staffed during this period. We also created a new pilot program this year, which is referred to as Insurance Pay. Insurance Pay is an added benefit for full-time TSS’s who will be compensated for missed work due to the reasons outlined in the program description, but include and are not limited to the following reasons; school holidays, weather related closures, client illness, and school delays. We encourage all full-time TSS’s to speak with their BHRS Assistant Coordinator for more information about this value-added benefit.
We are sorry that our efforts did not meet your expectations, but we are thankful that you took the time to share your opinion on here.
