Participation becomes mandatory upon reaching age 30 with five years of service. Generally, employee participation begins with the first full pay period following the waiting period and completion of the enrollment materials. Generally, employees accrue two weeks of vacation per year for the first seven years of employment, which increases to three weeks beginning the eighth year, and four weeks at fifteen years. We observe ten paid holidays each year. Employees accrue one day per month.
Exempt employees have the option of a monthly or biweekly payroll.
Hourly and non-exempt employees are paid on a biweekly basis. Direct deposit is available and highly encouraged. To be eligible, the employee must have completed at least two years of full-time employment. Because Lawrence and Project Bridges collaborate educationally, Project Bridges has agreed to provide twenty FTE priority slots, if available, to Lawrence employees. A wide variety of events and facilities are available.
