Compensation and Benefits
Compensation
Baseline salaries are inflation-adjusted on an annual basis. An annual bonus is determined around December 1 based on the overall performance of the company, at the discretion of the Directors.
Employees are never required to work overtime but may do so at their own discretion. Continuous overtime work should be brought up in the weekly staff meeting, as it can lead to burnout.
Payroll automatically runs on the first of each month for the preceding month.
Healthcare
Employees under both full-time and part-time contracts are eligible for healthcare coverage. We currently offer a UnitedHealthcare CV45/K35Y package with 20% employee copay.
Pension
punctum books currently doesn't offer a pension plan. The possibilities for instituting this will be researched in 2024.
Remote Working
As punctum books has no central office locations, all its employees work from home or remotely. For each employee, an assessment will be made with regards to their hardware and software needs, as well as any subscriptions to online services and database credentials that may be necessary. These will be covered by punctum.
Employees are encouraged to be proactive in requesting any additional equipment that may make their work from home more efficient. Any hardware provided by punctum under this arrangement remains its property and should be returned upon termination of a contract.

Employee Expenses
There are some expenses that we will pay directly on your behalf (e.g. hotel rooms for work-related travel.) But, we ask you to keep track and report on those reimbursable expenses that you pay yourself. We reimburse employee expenses that are related to lodging and travel costs for conferences and other punctum-related gatherings. Please keep receipts of reimbursable expenses. These can be submitted up to three months after the expense was incurred to the CFO and will be reimbursed within in two working days via bank transfer.

Professional development
punctum books is committed to the continued professional development of its staff. The Directors will discuss with individual staff members what their short- and medium-term professional goals are and how punctum books can help their realization. This may mean reduced work hours to go back to school or contributions to attend courses or conferences.
