REGULAR
FULL-TIME STAFF BENEFITS
All regular full-time staff members who are regularly scheduled
to work a minimum of 35 hours or more per week, 52 weeks a year,
except for approved absences, are eligible for the following benefits:
Paid
Time Off
The Dallas YMCA believes in providing staff members with adequate
time away from work so they will remain productive, enthusiastic
and creative while at work. Since YMCA facilities are open and in
operation throughout the year, including most holidays, the YMCA
provides flexibility to staff members through Paid Time Off (PTO).
Paid Time Off gives staff members choices while still assuring the
highest quality of service to program participants. With Paid Time
Off, staff members accumulate hours per pay period to be used when
they wish or need to be away from work for reasons such as: vacation,
personal or family illness, Holidays, personal business, funeral/bereavement,
birthdays, school activities, personal days.
PTO for full-time,
regular staff is accrued each pay period worked on the following
schedule:

Retirement
Eligibility for participation in the National YMCA Retirement fund
is for all staff members and requires that staff members complete
two years of YMCA service, work one-thousand (1,000) hours within
each of those two years, and be twenty-one (21) years of age or
older. Once participating in the YMCA Retirement Fund, there is
no further minimum service required for continuation in the fund
and staff members are vested at that time.
The YMCA Retirement
Fund is a defined contribution plan. The YMCA of Metropolitan Dallas
contributes twelve percent (12%) of participating staff member’s
earnings to their individual retirement accounts. There is no required
contribution from employees.
Staff members
participating in the YMCA Retirement Fund may opt to make lump sum
contributions or payroll-deducted contributions on a regular or
tax deferred basis within the limitations stated under Employee
Retirement Investment Act (ERISA).
The YMCA reserves
the right to amend its participation in the fund at anytime within
terms and conditions of the plan.
A YMCA Retirement
Fund Manual, providing information on the extent of benefit coverage,
will be provided to eligible staff members.

later, you may elect to take an early retirement and receive benefits
based upon your retirement plan.
The Retirement
Fund is a benefit for all eligible staff members.
