As a variable hour Crew Member or Shift Leader, you are eligible for Accident insurance and Critical Illness insurance, which provide cash benefits if you experience a covered accident or are diagnosed with a covered critical illness. In order to be eligible for full-time benefits (medical, dental, and vision), you must be hired into a regular benefits-eligible position or meet the eligibility criteria in accordance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
While you may currently be working full-time hours as a Crew member or Shift Leader, you may not yet have been classified as a full-time employee, in accordance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA). After you have been employed by CKE Restaurants for six months, your actual hours worked are measured. If it is determined that you worked an average of 30 hours or more per week for six months, you will then be classified as a full-time employee and offered the opportunity to enroll in full-time benefits.
