Join Team K/E |
|
Team K/E is always looking to grow its family.
As a "team", employees of K/E Electric are more than willing to "fill in"
or "rotate" job positions, which may temporary be vacant due to vacations, turn over, etc. This attitude helps the team earn those "Summer Contest" trips that we are all so fond of. We continue to look for persons, who want to work hard and enjoy themselves at it. With three locations in southeast Michigan, Team K/E offers great opportunity to do just that. Our employees are happy to specialize in the following job categories. Please, click on the heading below to email your resume. |

Team K/E Benefit Package includes...

Family Health Insurance
Family health coverage is available to all full time employees. The company pays the first $500 of monthly expense towards family health coverage. The Team K/E health plan is reviewed bi-annually by an ad-hoc committee of employees. The committee evaluates health plans and makes a recommendation for the following year. |
|
Paid Vacations
Full time employees receive one or two weeks paid vacation, based on like years of service. Upon completion of ten years service, employees receive an additional day of paid vacation, each year, through their twentieth year of service. |
|
Paid Holidays
Prior to each January 1st, management determines what week days national holidays will fall on in the following calendar year. Based on this criteria, six to eight paid holidays are established, and offered to all employees. |
|
Paid Sick Days
Hourly employees after 1 (one) year of continuous fulltime employment will start to accrue sick/personal days. Each employee will accrue 1 (one) day per quarter of full time employment to a maximum of 4 (four) per calendar year. Each employee may bank up to 8 (eight) sick/personal days maximum, by carrying over from one year to another. Employees who, as of December 1st, are over the maximum banked time of 8 (eight) days, will be paid the number of days over 8 (eight), at ¾ their current rate. Example: 12/01/2002 accumulated sick days of 12 (twelve), you would be paid 4 (four) days at ¾ your current rate of pay. Sick/personal days cannot be used immediately (before or after) scheduled paid holidays and or vacation days. This would result in a non-paid holiday or non-paid day off. The sick/personal days may also be used for bereavement and jury duty days. Banked days will be lost upon termination of employment. Sick days that have been accumulation will be added at their original rate of pay for 2003. |

The results of these discussions are written and presented to the management, in an anonymous format. Some of the company's most productive solutions have come from these meetings. |
