Mortenson Provides Industry-Leading Benefits for Craft Team Members
Committed to supporting every team member
The safety and well-being of every team member is the foremost obligation at Mortenson. To ensure team members have the resources and support they need when they need it, Mortenson provides its non-union Craft team members* with a robust benefits package that includes:
- Generous paid time off (PTO) and holiday schedule
- Outstanding health insurance with Copays
- Paid parental, bereavement, military and jury duty leave
- No cost short-term disability
- 100% employer paid life insurance
- Tuition reimbursement
- Free mental health care
* Craft team members who are part of a labor union receive benefits directly from their union and not Mortenson.
The path to more meaningful benefits
In advance of 2024, Mortenson leadership evaluated how employment benefits were perceived and what benefits were most valuable through conversations with multiple stakeholders across the organization.
As a result, Mortenson made a significant investment to go beyond being competitive within the construction industry and provide the most meaningful non-union Craft benefits package in the company’s history.
Our team members happiness and well-being define Mortenson’s success. We want to be ‘the place’ to work for Craft workers in our industry. With this investment, we’re making sure our Craft team members are fully supported to perform their best work and live their best lives every day.
Non-union Craft benefit details
Continuing this investment in 2025, all Mortenson non-union Craft team members will receive significant PTO and paid holidays, increased life insurance to 2x base salary, tuition reimbursement, free mental wellness resources and more as part of the 2025 benefits package**.
Generous PTO and holiday schedule
Time off is the most popular benefit for Craft team members. Currently, every non-union Mortenson Craft team member receives at least 10 days of PTO. Additionally, each non-union Craft team member receives:
- 2 additional days of PTO after just 1 year of service and an additional 2 days every 2 years after that date (up to 20 days of PTO)
As a result, craft team members will earn 18 days of PTO by the time they get to 7 years of service. This change, combined with including rehire service, will ensure more time for team members to rest, recover, and spend time with loved ones so they can be at their best at home and at work.
Two week paid parental leave
As part of providing more time off for team members, the new non-union Craft benefits package also provides 2 weeks (10 days) of paid parental leave so new parents have more time to bond with their children.
All new parents with at least 6 months of Mortenson service will be able to take this time in 1-day increments during the first 6 months following a birth, adoption, or foster placement.
100% paid maternity leave
Birth mothers receive benefits that provide 10 weeks total maternity leave. In addition to the 2 weeks paid parental leave, this includes 100% paid short-term disability maternity benefits for weeks 2 through 8 following the birth of their child.
100% paid bereavement, military and jury duty leave
In the event of the death of an immediate family member, non-union Craft team members will be granted up to 5 days (40 hours) paid bereavement leave after six months of employment. A paid bereavement leave for absences up to one day (8 hours) will be granted for extended family members. Qualifying Craft team members now also have access to paid leave when fulfilling military and jury duty commitments.
Tuition reimbursement
To ensure qualified non-union Craft team members have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills, continuing education costs for related degrees and technical programs will be reimbursed.
Increased short-term disability
Short-term disability benefits will now be 100% paid by Mortenson and no longer require an election. Team members with a short-term disability will receive 70% of their base pay for weeks 2 through 8 of their disability with continuing benefits for up to 26 weeks after exhausting a 6-month waiting period.
Increased income protection
The new 2025 benefits package includes significant coverage if something were to happen to a non-union Craft team member. Effective 1/1/2025, all team members will receive the following income protection benefits at no cost:
- Life insurance - 2x annualized base salary
- Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance - 2x annualized base salary
- Business Travel Accident insurance - 2x annualized base salary
- Up to $500,000 for team members
- Up to $100,000 for team member spouses
- $20,000 for each team member child
Free mental health care
A confidential and anonymous mental health solution is provided at no cost for all team members, spouses, and dependents (age 6-26) when they need it — including free therapy, personalized care and dedicated support, wellness exercises, work-life services, coaching and more.
