One of the most important perks of working for a large employer is access to comprehensive, inexpensive health insurance. However, for part-time workers, health insurance can be hard to come by. Some companies will extend partial benefits to part-timers with a long work history at the company, but many companies don’t provide any health insurance at all to part-time workers. This can be a big problem for workers who can only manage to snag a part-time job.
Eligible part-time UPS employees can participate in TeamstersCare coverage, which provides numerous benefits such as health insurance. To qualify, part-time UPS employees must work at least 225 hours, but no more than 400 hours, during a three-month eligibility determination period.
