Pre-2015 Benefits Provisions. Every employee who has completed 450 hours worked and who holds a regularly scheduled position of at least fifteen (15) hours per bi-weekly pay period, is eligible to enroll in the benefit program. Casual employees do not hold regular positions and are not eligible to participate. Eligibility and coverage may be affected by age. Effective January 1, 2015 Effective January 1, 2015, regular full-time and regular part-time employees who have completed probation and are regularly scheduled twenty-two and one-half (22-1/2) hours or more per week, are eligible to enroll in the benefits described.
