Holidays – BronxWorks has designated 12 paid holidays.

Annual leave – Full-time employees are entitled to up to 15 days of annual leave. Full-time employees who have worked with the agency for over 5 years are entitled to up to 20 days of annual leave. Up to four days each year may be considered personal days, which may be used for non-medical emergencies. Salaried employees who work 20 hours or more per week accrue annual leave on a prorated basis, based on the number of hours worked per week.

Health insurance coverage (70-75% employer paid) – Eligible employees may select health insurance coverage from either Aetna U.S. Healthcare or Health Insurance Plan (HIP). Both plans offer HMO and out-of-network options as well as vision care coverage. There are also separate dental plans under Aetna U.S. Healthcare and HIP. Coverage begins 60 days after date of hire.

Life insurance coverage (100% employer paid) – All eligible employees receive life insurance coverage equivalent to one year’s salary. Insurance coverage begins on the first day of the month following the month in which the employee began work at BronxWorks.

Pension Plan (100% employer paid) – Upon an eligible employee’s completion of one year of employment, BronxWorks begins to contribute to a pension plan with Mutual of America Life Insurance Company. Employees become fully vested in the pension plan on their 3rd anniversary.

At 1-5 years of employment, BronxWorks contributes 6% of the employee’s salary
At 5-10 years, BronxWorks contributes 9%
After 10 years, BronxWorks contributes 12%

Employees can allocate the contributions into any of Mutual of America’s 27 investment options or an interest accumulation account. The pension money becomes available at age 55. Employees are automatically vested on their 55th birthday anytime after their first year.

Tax Deferred Annuity Plan – Eligible employees may participate in a Tax Deferred Annuity Plan with Mutual of America. The plan allows employees to defer federal income taxes as they accumulate money for their retirement through convenient biweekly pre-tax contributions. Employees can allocate the contributions into any of Mutual of America’s 27 investment options or an interest accumulation account. Employees retain 100% of their contributions regardless of when they separate from BronxWorks. TDA’s may be activated at any time. The minimum employee contribution is $10 per paycheck and the maximum is $15,550 per year. TDA participants receive their money at age 59½.

Retirement Planning – BronxWorks helps employees maximize the pension plan and Tax Deferred Annuity plan to prepare for retirement. We offer quarterly presentations from Mutual of America as well as other workshops designed to increase financial literacy and investment savvy.

TransitChek – Employees may use TransitChek to have money taken out of their pretax salaries to pay for their public transportation commute. TransitChek users pay less taxes and receive a convenient unlimited ride Metrocard that does not need to be refilled each month. It is possible for employees to share this benefit with family members.

Employee Assistance Program – BronxWorks has an Employee Assistance Program, a free and confidential assessment, counseling, and referral service, to assist employees and their families with a wide range of personal problems. The EAP is an independent firm staffed by professional counselors who are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Additionally, BronxWorks offers:

A comprehensive monthly training calendar
Access to some scholarship opportunities
Non-financial support and internship opportunities for employees who return to school, particularly for their Master of Social Work degrees
