We asked 314 HR managers whether not they offer benefits to part-time employees. Here’s what they said:
Yes: 46%
No: 38%
We don’t have part-timers: 16%
Those that offer benefits typically don’t spend as much on them as they do with full-time staff. The most common benefits offered are 401k eligibility and paid vacation. Health and disability insurance are less common.
Should your compensation package for part-time workers include benefits? Maybe. If less than half of your competitors are doing it, then it may or may not make a difference. But some low-cost offerings could be enough to push you over the top.
Do you give benefits to part-timers? If so, what do you offer? Has it helped you recruit? Let us know in the comments section.
