Employee Benefits

Metropolitan Ministries recognizes that benefits are an important part of a total compensation package for employees and their families.  Metropolitan Ministries strives to offer a competitive benefits package. 

The following benefits start on the first day of employment for all employees:

• Paid Time Off (PTO) – All employees accrue PTO based on hours worked and are credited for paid holidays. With the approval of your manager, you are eligible to use your PTO as it is accrued, and your paid holiday credits from your first day of employment.
•  Free meals during the hours that you are working, if a meal is served
• Online Learning Development System for Professional Development

• Child Care in Promise Land Child Care Center at an affordable employee rate (if space allows) for children 1 year old or older.

Regular full-time employees who work at least 32 hours per week are eligible for coverage after 90 days for the following benefits package:
