Using Caution in School Zones
School zones are filled with hazards. Whether you are driving a commercial truck or company...
Work-life balance is a way of life for our team at Great West Casualty Company. During our 37.5 hour work week, we work hard, so time off is well deserved. Nearly 90% of our workforce currently qualifies for a hybrid work schedule, working three days in the office and two days remotely. Additional benefits such as paid leave, vacation, and holidays also support our goal of achieving a positive work-life balance.
Vacation accrual is based on length of service.
YEARS OF SERVICE | ANNUAL ACCRUAL |
0-4 | 2 Weeks |
5-14 | 3 Weeks |
15-24 | 4 Weeks |
25+ | 5 Weeks |
