Apple Does The Right Thing

image: apple.comPart of our daily grind here is to look at all the developments surrounding Apple, both positive and negative. Usually the negative ones are far more interesting. Today though, we wanted to highlight a piece of news that broke yesterday on ifoAppleStore. According to their sources, Apple will begin offering full health benefits to part-time retail employees who work at least 15 hours/week, and who have worked at Apple for more than a year.

Apple will pay the same (roughly) 65% of health premiums that they pay for full-time employees. Granted, the cost of healthcare being what it is, that other 35% would really eat into the salary of a 15 hour-a-week employee, but for some people who might be working several part-time jobs, or freelancers/creatives who have a tough time securing affordable insurance, this could make a huge difference for them.

Kudos, Apple.
