The following benefit components have been approved by the BREC Commission as part of the valuable supplemental compensation package for part time employees. However, the Commission has the right at any time to amend, modify or change components; benefit provisions; eligibility requirements; and contributory rates. Each benefit is also subject to change by the authority of each governing body.
DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN: BREC has adopted a deferred compensation plan through Nationwide Retirement Solutions. BREC provides 4% contribution match for part-time employees. Upon request, a Nationwide Retirement Solutions representative can meet individually with each participant to review eligibility, participation, and investment opportunities. For assistance in setting up or making adjustments to your account call 877-677-3678.

One may choose to participate in a variety of banking services including checking, savings, Christmas Clubs, direct payroll deposit, major credit cards or personal loans. Eligibility and rates are determined by the credit union governing board.
EMPLOYEE/FACILITY PRIVILEGE: BREC employees who actively participate in BREC programs gain a better knowledge and understanding of facility needs. This generates understanding and cooperation in interdepartmental needs. Some restrictions may apply.
PAID TIME OFF: Part-time employees who work a minimum of 29 hours per week and at least 1,000 hours will be eligible to accrue Paid Time Off (PTO) hours. The purpose of the "Paid Time Off" benefit is to allow part time employees greater flexibility to take time off for vacation, sick and/or personal time. The maximum accrual is 40 hours per fiscal year. Once employees reach the cap, the employee will not accumulate any more PTO until some of the time in the account is utilized. After the balance goes below the maximum, the employee will begin accruing PTO again. Except for illness, employees are required to obtain supervisor approval in advance for the time off.
PSLF: BREC is a qualifying employer for public service loan forgiveness. Employees who have Federal Direct Loans and have made 120 payments on the Federal Direct Loans (after Oct. 1, 2007) may be eligible for the remaining loan balance to be forgiven.
