When hired by ElementK, you are hired on as a contractor throuigh an
employment/temporary firm. I was told, as almost all new hires are told,
that
this is only temporary and after 3 months you will be hired on or your
contract
will be terminated. My 'temporary' contract lasted over 2 years.As a
contractor,
I received $38,000 per year, partially paid health benefits and 4 days
paid
holidays only if I worked the day before and after. There was no sick
leave or
vacation.
When I was hired on as a regular employee my salary was cut to $35,500 in
exchange for receiving 10 days vacation, 10 days sick leave, 3 days
personal
leave and partially paid health benefits.
Making people take a cut in pay when converted to regular employee
status is a
standard procedure with this company. They also make it difficult for
people to
change positions in the company because they require you to convert back
to
contract status when change and when they convert you to regular status
again,
your benefits are accrued as if you are a new hire.
