Holiday Pay is available to our employees after 720 hours (90 working days) of full-time continuous employment. It is required that you work a full day the business day before and after the holiday unless you have been pre-approved for paid time off by your 1st Choice Personnel Supervisor. If an employee is absent on the business day before or after the holiday without pre-approval, no Holiday pay will be paid.

1st Choice recognizes the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. 

Paid Time Off (PTO) is available to employees after 2080 hours (1 year) of full time continuous employment. PTO is calculated on an accrual basis (.10 days accrued weekly equals approximately 5 days per year). PTO is accrued in each calendar year and should be utilized within the same calendar year. Overtime does not count towards PTO. All PTO days must be pre-approved by your supervisor in advance and taken in a minimum of 4 hour increments. If you choose to use PTO as a sick day, you must give notice two hours prior to start time and your supervisor will notify accounting. No PTO will be paid out after the fact unless those requirements are met.

Bonuses:

A $50 bonus is paid for referring a candidate after 80 hours of temporary work. A $100 bonus is paid for any referral that is placed on a direct hire basis at the end of the guarantee period.
