Part-Time

Part-Time eligibility and benefits described in this Guide apply to non-union associates (excluding retail associates) expected to work less than 30 hours per week, on average.

Overview

Non-union-represented Associates

Non-union associates are eligible for benefits the first of the month following 30 days of employment. The benefits you are eligible for are based on your expected average hours of service per week when you’re hired.

• Average 30+ hours per week: Full benefits package
• Average less than 30 hours per week: Access 401(k) Plan, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), Calm benefits, Associate Discount Program, applicable Paid Time Off and Maternity Leave, and Early Acces$

Your hours are measured over a 12-month period beginning on your date of hire. If you averaged at least 30 hours per week, you will be eligible for additional benefits the first of the 14th month of service based on your actual average hours per week.

Union-represented Associates

Benefits eligibility for union-represented associates may differ across work groups based on the terms of a collective bargaining agreement. Refer to the eligibility rules for your work group to see if you’re eligible for coverage.

Requalifying For Benefits Eligibility

Associates requalify for benefits eligibility once per year. This simplifies the enrollment process and, if you qualify for coverage, allows you to keep your coverage in place for an entire year at a time (as long as you remain eligible).

Benefits eligibility for current associates will be determined by hours of service during a defined 12-month period. An associate must be employed during the entire 12-month period to be included in the requalification determination.

Requalification for 2028 benefits.

Benefits eligibility for 2028 will be based on hours worked from October 4, 2026 – October 2, 2027.
