We have more employees investing in the company, and they can develop a nice nest egg. The bank also offers free checking and savings, and reduced loan and credit card rates for part-time employees. The company also pays for additional training if it's relevant. Flexibility is a tangible perk, too, with some of Jones' part-time crew, about 10 percent of its nationwide work force. Some employees have the option to work from home in such areas as human resources, information systems, marketing and research.
Hotel management has a tough time filling the late-night and holiday shifts.
At Doubletree Hotel and Conference Center-St. Louis, perks entice the part-time employee to fill the tougher slots. They often work the hours that nobody else wants to. Membership in the hotel's health club can be deducted from the employee's paycheck. Payroll deduction also is available to employees for the purchase of lunch vouchers, and Doubletree will pay half the cost of passes for employees who ride the bus to work.
