Do part-time UPS employees get health insurance?

Yes. Part-time inside employees get fully employer-paid Teamster health coverage after the waiting period — a major benefit of the contract.

Part-time inside employees at UPS are eligible for Teamster health-and-welfare coverage at no premium cost to the employee, after the contractual waiting period (commonly 12 months of continuous service). The coverage is provided through Teamcare or a regional fund and is one of the headline benefits of part-time UPS work compared to other part-time jobs.

Dependent coverage usually starts later — often after 18 months — and the exact eligibility milestones, copays, and covered services live in the fund's plan document.
