Although project requirements may dictate schedules, a Northstrat employee is only required to work an average of 8 hours per weekday over the course of a month. For example: John worked 12 hours on June 1st to meet a project deadline. On June 15th, John only worked 4 hours because he left early for a long weekend. John’s IBA was not debited for time off because flex time allowed him to carry over those 4 hours from June 1st. /p h3Individual Benefits Account (IBA) /h3 pTo attract and retain the highest quality staff, Northstrat provides a unique and versatile benefits package, the Individual Benefit Account (IBA), which places the power of choice in the hands of our greatest asset – the employee. /p pThe purpose of the IBA is to provide attractive benefits to all full‑time employees of Northstrat on a flexible basis that enables each covered employee to select a package that best suits his or her needs.
