The beginning of the pay period will be the 9th, and will run through 10:00pm on the 22nd, and payday will be on the 28th. Then every two weeks after that.
Your husband will get information on the insurance at orientation when the choices have to be made. When he got his final offer, they would have gone over the basics of the insurance. It is not the same everywhere, which is why I can't tell you what he will have available. There are always 2-3 different plans available. There are also choices on dental coverage. The nice thing is, the dental has free maintenance such as cleanings and I believe it is a set of X-rays a year.
You will have to make a lot of insurance decisions. Not only for health insurance and dental, but also if you want vision coverage, additional life insurance, accident insurance, critical illness insurance, etc. The biggie is long term disability insurance. Walmart provides short term disability insurance for the drivers.
Sorry I can't tell you more on the insurance, but it isn't the same everywhere. The nice thing is, the coverage starts when he does, so there is no waiting period like with most employers.
Welcome to the family.kelbugger Thanks this. -

Yes/yes. Orientation week is 14 an hour. Training week is regular pay.

I just finished the class orientation week and for 5 days was $700

I think for week of drive training you make just like you will on your own based on what you do
-
That is correct.

Ok, I'll be the smart arse here.. Why are you asking on the open board when "hubby" should of been told this when he accepted the job. Plus my understanding they are not supposed to be talking about pay and things in the open.. Or is that just a rumor I have heard.
Anyhow good luck to him on the new job...
And ask your hubby these questions.....or is he hiding things from you???? -

This is why you start a discussion, to gain information - but if you're "just passing through" it seems appropriate to fly by, throw gas out the window, and watch it burn, right?TomOfTx Thanks this.
