Employees have the opportunity to purchase additional income protection to replace 70% of their salary, if disabled, at very affordable group rates.

Vacations
Employees hired during the first quarter of the year are eligible for 3 weeks of vacation during that year. If hired during the second quarter, employees may take 2 weeks of vacation that year and if hired during the third quarter they are eligible for 1 week. All employees are then eligible for 3 weeks of vacation in years 2-11; 4 weeks for 12-24 years; 5 weeks for 25-29 years; and 6 weeks for 30 years and over.

Adoption Assistance
Adoption is a wonderful way to bring love to a child and get love back. That's why TAP believes in making adoption easier for our employees. Here's what the adoption assistance plan means: The maximum reimbursement is $10,000 and employees receive up to 2 weeks of paid time off for associated legal issues and travel.

Tuition Assistance
Reimbursement for all courses, GED, undergraduate, and graduate degrees, will be tax-free up to $5,250 per year. Graduate courses will be reimbursed up to $7,000 per year, with taxes withheld on the amount in excess of $5,250. Any unreimbursed tuition expenses may be carried over for 1 year and applied to the following year's reimbursement limit.

This is a benefits package that addresses the needs of TAP employees, not only in the present, but in the future too. It's precisely that type of long-range perspective and philosophy that makes TAP...Where You Want to Be.
