I worked for a smaller company last year that had a lot of administrative problems, due to no one taking the time to set up the bennies the way a big corp does.

I am doing the same as you, hell for the same company :) The company I am subbed out to right now, and that I will hopefully be direct hired by later this year, has a great bennie program. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 1:35 PM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Re: Employee compensation > > co pay: no more than $15 dollars per doctor visit > prescriptions no more than $10 > > i'm currently on a temp to hire contract.
