A 401K plan is available to employees averaging over 30 hours per week. One year of service is required before entry into the plan. Styer contributes 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions and 50% match on the next 2% of employee contributions.

Sustained full time status is required to work towards receiving personal time benefits. The date used for calculating personal time is the anniversary date of employment. Personal time is not an accrued benefit and will not be paid upon termination of employment regardless of reason.

Because Styer is a small company, we rely on everyone to be available to work during our regular business days. We do understand, however, that illness to employees and family members occur. There are no specific number of sick days allowed. The days are expected to be taken only when necessary. If it appears that this policy is being abused, a discussion will take place and limits may be placed on these days. If you are away from work for three consecutive days, however, a written notice from a doctor is required.

Requests for personal time will be discussed and evaluated for approval.

DEATH IN THE FAMILY

Time will be allowed to attend funerals and make arrangements if a family member dies. In the case of the death of a spouse or children one week will be provided. Three days will be provided for the death of a parent, sibling or grandparent.
