Starbucks Healthcare Insurance Benefits Plan, Policy for Part-time Employees a Hot Search Item...

...or at least I'm hoping Starbucks health insurance benefits will be a hot search item after just watching today's Oprah.

There was a couple deep in debt, and Suze Orman prescribed the woman get a job at Starbucks, because Orman said that Starbucks' health insurance benefits are available to even part-time employees who work at least 90 days at the coffee giant.

In this article with Starbucks' CEO about their health insurance benefits, it states:

"Starbucks provides health insurance for all employees working 20 hours a week and up."

But Starbucks' employees speak here of having a hard time getting 20 hours per week to get their health benefits, in some instances.

Either way, any company that pays its employees full health benefits for part-time status is good in my book.

Now, about that Black Gold movie...

Good post. It is great to see Starbucks to the right thing. I wrote about this last December in - Starbucks: Respect for Workers and Health Care. It is made difficult largely by the incredible expense of health care in the USA - nearly twice as expensive as anywhere else.

There is something out of synch here. The employee is quoted as saying getting work for twenty hours is difficult. Is is all just a PR hype then? If it is not, all strength to Starbucks.

There are other companies that provide healthcare and other benefits for 20 hours per week. UPS has great benefits and, if you work at their US hub in Louisville KY, they will pay for your college education. How 'bout that?! BTW, wish me luck as I take the GMAT for entry into the U of Louisville MBA program (courtesy of UPS).

None of the people I know who is working around 20 hours per week have their companies provide healthcare and other benefits.

Btw, I enjoyed your article.

This is a great post. I sure hope that the people are indeed getting the 20 hours in, though. Corporations need to begin to recognize the responsibilities that they have to people who work for them.

Since I'm fascinated with how much money bloggers and webmasters are making nowadays, I've created a similar list -- a random sampling of people making money on the net.

Paula's New List of Blogger Salaries (and Webmasters, Affiliate Marketers, Content Scrapers, Domainers and any other title you can think of) June 2007

FIND OUT HOW MUCH BLOGGERS REALLY MAKE ONLINE -- CHECK OUT THIS NEW WEBSITE ABOUT MONEY-MAKING ONLINE CALLED 50 OVER $50K... by Paula Neal Mooney The time has come. The time is now. Paula N. Mooney will you please publish that list now?! (Yes, I fancy Dr. Seuss' iambic pentameter.) My WebMaster blest me with a viral post called "Paula's List of Blogger Salaries," and the response was so wonderful, here lies an update. It's bigger and better than ever before with more pics, and double the amount of bloggers, webmasters, domainers, affiliate marketers (or a smidgen of some or all of those titles) and their reported incomes. How Much Do You Make? Money is funny. The abundance of it, the lack of it, the subject of cash in general gets attention. While some invoke their choice not to post their online income nor discuss it at all, I've always been of the Suze Orman mindset ever since I read her first book. Suze encourages people to talk ab...

† Tissa Godavitarne - Scam? Hoax? Or Internet Marketing Genius? Read these reviews...

UPDATE - I can't do it. Just as soon as I signed up with Tissa's people search engine, I cancelled. I just don't feel right about helping people find other people's addresses and phone numbers. AND THIS PRIVACY ISSUE IS GAINING STEAM. CHECK OUT THE CONTROVERSY BREWING OVER THE MYLIFE.COM PRIVACY SELLING ISSUES THAT TISSA USES TO PROVIDE THE PEOPLE SEARCH ENGINE INFO. I know I could probably make money with it, but it's just not sitting right with my soul. Back to the drawing board. I know better things await... I kept trying to rationalize that many people could use the people search engines for good purposes, like reconnecting with old classmates and finding deadbeat dads and such -- but the reality is that if just one person uses them for nefarious purposes, I just don't want to be a part of that. I wonder if Tissa would care if people found out the address of his fabulous home, and came a' knocking on his door? How I Bought a Brand New $1.2 Million Dolla...
