Non-Retirement Benefits at Talent Tree Staffing Services

Non-retirement benefits provide several advantages to both employer and employee, as benefits are typically designed to make things easier for the recipient, professionally and personally. This paper will examine five non-retirement benefits offered at Talent Tree Staffing Services, including employee recognition programs and paid time off (PTO).

It is common for companies to offer both vacation time and sick time to employees to allow them to get much needed rest and relaxation away from the office. In many cases, however, the sick time can only be used if the employee is sick, which means often sick days do not get used or employees abuse the benefit by calling in sick when they may not be ill. Talent Tree, in an effort to alleviate both of these issues, offers its employees PTO time instead of sick and vacation time. PTO allows an employee a certain number of days off in a year that they may use for any reason without question. Talent Tree has a generous PTO plan in which the employee gets twelve days off the first year, and fifteen days off thereafter until the employee hits his or her fifth year of employment. At that time, the employee will receive twenty days of PTO. In addition, Talent Tree offers two floating holidays per year, which means on holidays such as Martin Luther King Day and the day after Thanksgiving, if the employee chooses to work that day, they may take another day off of their choosing in its place.
