Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Foundation Paid Intern/Fellowship Opportunity

[James Alexander]

Hey Lodewijk,

I'm not acutely aware of the details for this specific position but in the
interest of "probably" answering the question quickly in the US the term
benefits in that context is generally used to specifically talk about
health care, retirement, life insurance or other "fringe" benefits that the
company would pay for with a full time (or sometimes longer term
contractor) position. A position like this would generally be paid but not
receive those benefits. Do you know of a better way to say when that
applies? I think it's good to make sure people aren't taken unaware by that
but if it's confusing I'm sure HR could look at changing job descriptions
to make it clearer.

Hi Jaime,

In the topic of your email, you mention 'paid' - but the description says 'This
position does not offer benefits.'

Best,
Lodewijk

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Foundation Paid Intern/Fellowship Opportunity

[Lodewijk]

The easiest way to clarify it, is by including a short section on
'compensation', and explicitely mentioning there is some financial
compensation available, but no 'additional benefits'? Right now, the post
doesn't mention payment of any kind explicitely, anywhere (I think).

Best,
Lodewijk
