Maintenance Worker

Colonial offers many compensation options to our employees. Most employees choose one of two options:

(1) Full benefit package, which is generously designed (more details below) and still comes with a solid pay rate on second and third shifts ($18.31/hr).

Option 1 - Prefer Higher Wages Over Benefits?

Our "Agency Rate" is Designed for You!

Our "Agency Rate" is available to maintenance staff who work at least 20 hours per week part-time hours or full-time hours. Work directly for us and be part of our Team!

How is the "Agency Rate" calculated for second and third shifts?

$18.31/hr base rate (first shift rate) - starts on hire

$2.20/hr pay in lieu of health, dental and vision coverages - starts when benefit-eligible*

$1.67/hr pay in lieu of certain paid time off - starts when benefit-eligible**

$22.18/hr "Agency Rate"

* Health insurance is offered starting the first of the month following 30 days of employment. When elected, the $2.20/hr pay in lieu of health benefit option starts with the first pay date of that same month.

** Paid personal days, vacation days and an extra day's holiday pay on 10 named holidays are offered after employees complete their probationary period (standard 90 days). Employees working for staffing agencies do not receive these benefits and tend to prefer a higher rate of pay when working.
