The Company realizes the need for employees to take time away from work from time to time.  Our policy for Paid Time Off (PTO) is that sick time, vacation time, and personal time are all included into one category.  Regular full-time employees who work 40 hours a week accrue PTO at a rate of 8 hours per month the first year of employment.  That accrual rate increases to 10 hours per month after your first service anniversary with Wall.  It again increases to 12 hours per month after your second anniversary.  For employees who work between 32 to 39 hours per week, they will accrue at a proportionally reduced amount.

The total number of paid holidays given from Wall Residences depends on your position. Each fall, the next year’s holidays are determined, and a schedule is distributed to all employees.  These recognized holidays are in addition to the Paid Time Off benefits described above.

All employees are paid on the 15th of the month and the end of each month. Direct deposit of your earnings is available.

Wall Residences employees are included as owners of the agency after one year of employment, provided they have completed at least 1000 hours of service in each year, and are at least age 21.  100% vesting in the plan occurs after six years of full employment.  This benefit can be substantial if the company is successful in a given year and is intended as an additional resource for retirement.  Employees are not required to contribute to this Plan.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) Savings Plan whereby an employee may contribute a portion of their salary into the Plan as a supplement to their retirement.  You must be at least age 21 and have six months of employment before becoming eligible to participate in the Plan.  If you decide to participate, the Company provides a matching contribution equal to 100% on the first four percent of your deferral (example: if you defer 2% of your salary, the Company will match your 2% contribution.  If you defer 7% of your salary, the Company Matching Contribution will only be to the maximum of 4% of your salary.)  Participants are responsible for the investment of their contributions and our Plan has several investment options from which to choose.  Newly eligible participants may enter the Plan on the first day of the calendar month coincident with or next following the time they meet the criteria of 6 months of employment during which 1000 hours of service were also completed.
