All full-time employee owners regularly scheduled to work at least thirty (30) hours per work week shall be eligible to enroll in employee-owner benefits. Newly hired eligible employee owners may participate in the insurance benefits program on the first (1st) day of the month following thirty (30) days of full-time employment. (Example: Penelope Finn begins her employment on January 4th. Her 30th day of employment is February 2nd. She will be eligible for the insurance benefits program as of March 1st.)
