People who work remote are pretty much put out to pasture when it comes to benefits.
- almost_usual 6y agoWhich benefits?
- chrisseaton 6y agoWhat benefits do you need? You mean they don't get healthcare if they're in the US?
- chucky_z 6y agoA good friend and co-worker of mine went remote several months ago, and no, he does not get healthcare anymore. I am not aware of what his full healthcare situation is but I cannot imagine it's cheap.
- irq 6y agoI’ve been full time remote since 2011 across multiple employers and I’ve always received the exact same benefits as office workers. Sure their might be other problems with remote work but having a separate benefits tier for remote workers is something I’ve never seen. Now, for permanent work vs contractor work, there can be separate tiers but... that’s not what we’re talking about here.
- mech422 6y agoI can second this - I've always gotten the same benefits as on-site staff. Closest thing to a difference I've run across is usually not all of the insurance companies/plans are viable in AZ, as opposed to the say 5-6 options for CA (eg Kaiser)
