| Works around classes | Bus driver is posted as a full-time job on a NINE MONTH schedule at $20.04 an hour - the district contracts the role to the school year rather than the calendar year, so the summer is off by design rather than by request. |
|---|---|
| No experience needed | Bus driver: no diploma, GED or prior experience is listed. The published qualifications are being 18, holding a valid driver's licence for at least six months, a good driving record, references, dependable transport to work and passing the NC school bus written and road test. The DMV requires a Commercial Learner's Permit before behind-the-wheel training. |
| Hours a week to qualify | Cafeteria work is not a district job. CMS hires cafeteria workers through two outside staffing agencies, Jennifer Temps and Snelling, on part-time temp-to-hire terms - so the state pension, the district benefits and the school-year calendar that come with a district post do not apply until the worker is converted. Only the Cafeteria Management Trainee route is hired directly by CMS. |
the legal floor where they are
Set by law, not by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. It applies to every employer in Charlotte, NC.
| IVF cycles the state covers | THERE IS NO FEDERAL MANDATE. No US law requires an employer health plan to cover IVF or any infertility treatment, so coverage comes either from the insurance mandate in the state where the plan is written or from the employer's own choice. And the state mandates reach less far than they look: they bind fully insured plans bought from a state-regulated carrier, while a self-funded employer plan is governed federally under ERISA and is preempted from state insurance regulation. KFF's 2025 employer survey puts 67% of covered workers in a self-funded plan, and 80% of those at firms of 200 or more — so at the size of employer this site mostly covers, the state mandate usually does not apply, and any fertility benefit is a genuine company choice rather than a restatement of law. That is precisely why it belongs on a benefits page here. Perks has not yet read this employer's own state insurance mandate from an official source; the states that have been read carry their own entry. (No federal statute requires an employer health plan to cover infertility treatment or IVF. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) preempts state insurance regulation as applied to self-funded employer plans, which is why a state mandate does not reach them.) |
|---|---|
| Adoption leave the law gives | 12 workweeks of UNPAID job-protected leave in any 12-month period on the placement of a child for adoption or foster care, and only for employees who meet the FMLA eligibility test. There is no federal paid adoption leave. (Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. 2612(a)(1)(B) and 2612(c); eligibility at 29 U.S.C. 2611(2) and (4). Quoted from the 2023 edition of the US Code.) |
| Pay when you are ill | No federal law requires any paid sick leave. The FLSA does not require payment for time not worked, and the FMLA gives 12 workweeks of UNPAID job-protected leave in any 12-month period for a serious health condition, and only for employees who meet the FMLA eligibility test. Any paid sick time comes from a state or city law, or from the employer's own choice. (Fair Labor Standards Act, per the Department of Labor's statement on payment for time not worked; Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. 2612(a)(1)(D) and 2612(c). Quoted from the 2023 edition of the US Code on govinfo.gov.) |
