2024 Benefit Enhancements

Over the summer, the Benefits team met with some Craft team members for feedback on Mortenson’s benefit package and based on the feedback, we are excited to rollout Mortenson’s industry leading benefit package.

We are making the largest investment in recent history in the areas that we learned were valued most by Craft team members while prioritizing inclusive benefits. We are excited to offer these new benefits for our non-Union Craft team members effective January 1, 2024!

Benefit Enhancements Include:

The Mortenson PTO plan will now include more opportunities to earn PTO with increments beginning after one year. The updated PTO schedule is effective January 1, 2024:

0 – 1 year10 days
1 – 3 years12 days
3 – 5 years14 days
5 – 7 years16 days
7 – 9 years18 days
9+ years20 days

Starting January 1, 2024, Mortenson will be including all service to calculate your PTO! This is important for team members who were laid off following a project ending who come back to Mortenson; those team members will now have past service included in their PTO service, leading to greater PTO accruals.

Mortenson non-Union craft team members who have been employed by Mortenson for at least 6 months who become a parent either through birth, foster placement, or adoption are eligible for a 2 week (10 work days or 80 hours) paid leave to be taken following the arrival of your new child. The leave must be taken in one day increments within 6 months of the birth, placement, or adoption​ of your child.

Both mothers and fathers employed at Mortenson are eligible for parental leave.  It is important to discuss your planned parental leave timing well in advance with your manager so your team can plan accordingly.  Parental Leave hours can be entered on your time card; select the Parental Leave pay type from the same place you select PTO or Holiday pay.

Mortenson non-Union craft team members who have been employed by Mortenson for at least 6 months who give birth will now receive 10 weeks paid at 100% following the birth of their child. Eligible team members will work with Mortenson’s HR Service Center and New York Life for their short-term disability which will last between for 8 weeks, paid at 100% (and if eligible, Family Medical Leave (FML)), followed by 10 days of parental leave described below.

Mortenson non-Union craft team members who have been employed by Mortenson for at least 6 months (enrolled or not enrolled on the medical plan) will now have STD paid at 70% of base pay for the first eight weeks of their disability following a 1 week or 5 workdays elimination period. STD benefits for eligible team members who are off work due to a qualified illness or disability this program will continue a portion of your base salary, up to a maximum of 26 weeks, the benefit payments can be found below:

Beginning January 1, 2024, life insurance for all Mortenson non-Union craft team members will no longer be linked to medical election and all team members will have a $50,000 life insurance benefit. Non-craft team members have the option to purchase additional life insurance and Optional Accidental Death & Dismemberment Insurance (AD&D) on themselves, their spouse / domestic partner and children. The cost of insurance is based on the amount of coverage, age of insured, and smoking status.

Optional Insurance costs vary and can be found below:

Beginning January 1, 2024, eligible Mortenson non-Union craft team members will have access to contribute to a Roth source for their 401(k). Team Members will still have the option to contribute to opt for pre-tax contributions but adding a Roth source has been an in-demand resource for several years and we are glad to be able to offer the Roth contributions moving forward. 

Your contributions can be pre-tax, Roth or a combination of both and as long as the total contribution is greater than 4%, you will receive the full 4% match. Mortenson’s match is always contributed on a pre-tax basis. A breakdown of the differences of Pre-tax and Roth can be found below:

Team Members should consult with their financial advisors or Fidelity to determine which type of contribution is best for their situation.
