Part-time workers who have no benefits in the workplace could become more financially secure if their employers provided voluntary benefits, according "Part-Time Nation," a report on the latest findings from Guardian Life Insurance Co.'s annual workplace benefits study.
The Society for Human Resource Management reports the new study details how the lack of employee benefits for part-time workers makes their financial situations more precarious.
Just 25 percent of part-timers, it says, have an employer-sponsored medical plan, compared to 80 percent of full-time workers. In addition, while 69 percent of full-timers have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, only 32 percent of part-timers do. Meanwhile, fewer than 20 percent of part-timers have dental, disability or life insurance benefits at work, compared to more than half of full-timers.
