We believe that everyone has a responsibility to give back to their community and make it a better place to live. That’s why we sponsor a paid volunteer program to encourage our employees to donate their time to their community.
All employees, including part-time workers, may take up to eight hours of paid time off each year to volunteer for their charity of choice. It’s our way of giving back and helping our employees do the same.
