PROFIT SHARING PLAN:

Trinity’s Profit Sharing Plan has been adopted to provide you with additional income for retirement. Your eligibility for a Profit Sharing contribution starts on the first entry date (either January 1 or July 1) that occurs after you have completed one year of service (with at least 1,000 hours) following your hire date. Trinity, at its discretion, determines each year if a Profit Sharing contribution is to be made. All eligible participants will receive a summary plan description, which include more information on your plan benefits, your distribution options and other features.

PAID TIME OFF (PTO):

Trinity allows employees to use, at their discretion and subject to manager approval, "Paid Time Off" (PTO). The PTO Program combines your vacation, sick days, and personal days into one PTO total.

As shown in the tables below, regular full-time and part-time employees will commence accrual of PTO each pay period immediately at date of employment, and will vest after a period of 90 days of employment. At that time, they may begin to use their PTO time. PTO hours are accrued on a per-pay-period basis and balances are printed on each pay stub. It is the responsibility of the employee to track PTO time accurately. All employees must request PTO time in advance in order to allow for appropriate scheduling of work.

Use the Trinity PTO Request Form to schedule your PTO. Requested PTO must be approved in advance by your manager and must take into consideration your client workload. Once approved, please forward the PTO Request form to the Payroll Department (ppurdy@trinitytg.com) prior to taking any PTO. Please note that Trinity's time reporting and management system calculates and reports PTO in hours.

The following tables outline the PTO accrual categories for regular full-time employees in a Staff/Senior Staff classifications:

Regular Full-Time Employees (Staff/Senior Staff)

                       *Based on a semi-monthly pay cycle/24 pay periods per year and 40 hours/week

 The following tables outline the PTO accrual categories for regular full-time employees in a Manager/Director/Architect classifications:

Regular Full-Time Employees (Manager/Director/Architect)

                       *Based on a semi-monthly pay cycle/24 pay periods per year and 40 hours/week

 The following table outlines the PTO accrual categories for regular part-time employees:

 Regular Part-Time Employees (Staff/Senior Staff)

                        *Based on a semi-monthly pay cycle/24 pay periods per year & <30 hours/week

Employees are encouraged to use their PTO in the calendar year in which it was accrued. PTO can accrue up to a maximum cap, the amount of the cap depending on the employment classification, as shown in the schedules above. Once the maximum cap is reached, no further PTO will be earned until some PTO is used. When some PTO is used, PTO hours will begin to accrue again. There is no retroactive grant of PTO hours for the period of time the accrued PTO was at the cap.

HOLIDAYS:

In addition to PTO, Trinity recognizes several holidays during the year and grants its employees those days off with pay. Regular full-time and part-time employees are eligible for holiday benefits as defined in this policy. Holiday pay will be calculated based on the employee’s straight-time base pay rate (at the time of the holiday) times the number of hours the employee would otherwise have worked on that day, to a maximum of eight (8) hours.

The list of holidays observed by Trinity may not match the holidays observed by a client to whom an employee is assigned. The Paid Time Off (PTO) policy is designed to give employees the flexibility to use PTO to meet the clients’ and the employee’s personal needs. An employee who wishes to observe a day not included in the holidays listed below may use PTO for such purposes.

Trinity has ten (10) paid holidays each fiscal year, consisting of:

New Year's Day

President’s Day

Memorial Day

Independence Day

Labor Day

Veteran’s Day

Thanksgiving & the day after Thanksgiving

Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

Flexible Spending Account (FSA):

Trinity has established a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Plan that allows employees to contribute to their FSA accounts on a pretax basis (via payroll deductions) and then use their FSA funds for reimbursement for eligible childcare expenses and/or eligible out-of-pocket health expenses (excluding insurance premiums) that are not covered by Trinity’s benefit plan.
