Favorite Sweetens Your 2007 401(k) Contributions by 23%

Your Retirement Savings is Growing with Favorite’s Percentage Match

Favorite Matches a Portion of 401(k) Contributions We are pleased to announce that Favorite has matched a portion of its field employees’ 401(k) retirement plan contributions for 2007. If you elected to defer part of your pay to the Favorite Healthcare Staffing 401(k) plan, you’ll receive a little "cushion" in your account. The company’s matching percentage for 2007 is 10%, but that's not all!

In addition to the employer match, forfeitures (unvested matching contributions of former employees of the company) were allocated, resulting in an additional 13.15% discretionary match.

 

For example, if an employee worked 1,200 hours for Favorite Healthcare Staffing in 2007, contributing $10,000 of their annual gross compensation to their 401(k), they would receive approximately $2,315 in additional matching contributions.

Eligible plan participants (employees who completed 1,000 or more hours of service in 2007) will see this deposit on their next statement from CPI (third party plan administrator), due out in mid April 2008. Participants may view statements online at www.myretirementfuture.com by logging in with their social security number and PIN - the last four digits of the social security number unless previously changed. Participants may also access their account information by phone at 800-291-1585. CPI's customer service center is available at 800-279-4015.

On CPI's website, participants can change investment elections, view personal account information, review statements, and more. Participants can also change their contribution percentage on this site. The change to contribution percentage will take effect at the next open enrollment date.

Matching contributions become available to provide benefits to plan participants based on the employees' years of service under the plan's vesting schedule. Matching contributions are made strictly at the discretion of the company and are not guaranteed. However, Favorite has matched qualifying employee contributions every year since 1991.

If you are not taking advantage of this benefit, check with your branch for open enrollment information. You may also read more about the plan and download forms from our website.

We’ve Doubled Your Bonus for RN Referrals to $1,000!

Refer your Friends to Favorite and Earn Great Bonus Dollars!

RN $1000 Referral Bonus

Cash in on this great opportunity to earn twice the dollars for referring RNs and certain Allied Professionals!

Favorite Healthcare Staffing is pleased to announce a change to the Referral Bonus Program. It must be a little March Madness, but for all Registered Nurse referrals, as well as for referrals of 22 Allied Healthcare professional job categories, we have raised the benefit amount to $1,000 per referral. Simply refer your friends and associates to earn $200 installments for every 50 hours worked up to $1000! The program rules remain the same.

If you know qualified Registered Nurses or Allied Professionals with at least one year of current health care experience that you would be proud to have wearing the Favorite Healthcare Staffing nametag, please call your local branch with their name and contact information or encourage them to apply online today! When they give us your name*, we will track their hours and pay you a $200 bonus for every 50 hours they work, up to $1,000 within 180 days (6 months).
* Make sure your referral knows your full name.

See our website for program rules and call your local Favorite office if you have questions.
