The Benefits of Working for Home Forward
In addition to competitive wages and meaningful work, Home Forward offers an excellent benefits package. An outline of these benefits is offered below:
Health, Vision, Alternative Care, and Dental Insurance
Regular full-time employees and part-time employees working more than 20 hours per week have the option upon hire of selecting one of two health insurance plans. Health, vision, alterative care, and vision coverage is effective the first of the month following the date of hire.

Home Forward contributes both the employer and employee contribution amounts for all eligible employees. For more information on how this retirement benefits work, go here:
Employer Sponsored Time
Effective January 1, 2023, employees normally scheduled to work a full FTE (40 hours per week) are eligible for 2.5 hours of Employer Sponsored Time (EST) per week. EST is not available for employees who work less than a full FTE (40 hours per week).This will reduce the work week to 37.5 without a reduction in pay or accruals. The intention of EST is to allow flexibility and achieve more balance. EST is intended as a way for employees to manage personal needs during the week. There are no restrictions about how EST can be used. When illness and medical appointment occur, we encourage employees to use other forms of paid leave in addition to their EST.
Deferred Compensation
Employees may also participate in Home Forward's 457 Deferred Compensation plan, a tax-deferred retirement savings option available through payroll deduction. We contribute a $750 match to your deferred compensation/457b plan each year.
Tuition Reimbursement Program
Home Forward believes that providing training and educational opportunities for all employees will enhance the agency as a whole. Any regular employee scheduled to work at least 20 hours a week is eligible for the Tuition Reimbursement Program.
Time Off
Home Forward provides 16 paid holidays each year.
All sick leave will be front loaded into employees' sick leave bank each year on January 1st. Employees hired mid-year will have a pro-rated amount loaded into their sick leave bank upon hire. Sick leave may be used as soon as it is earned, and accrues at the rate of 4.34 hours per pay period for regular full-time employees, or the equivalent of 13 days per year.
Eligible employees start accruing vacation time from their date of hire as a regular employee. However, accrued vacation time does not become earned, usable or payable until the completion of 90 days of continuous service, and the accrual rate is based on the number of years worked. After six months of employment, an additional 3 personal days are added to your vacation balance, and then every first of the year thereafter. Part-time employees accrue sick and vacation leave on a pro-rated basis.
Flexible Benefit Plans
In addition to health, dental and vision insurance, employees may be eligible to participate in flexible spending accounts. The pre-tax payroll deductions can be used to pay for qualified healthcare or dependent day care expenses up to the maximum per plan year as established by the IRS.
