I am fortunate enough to work for a company that offers a PST. I believe that i am eligible for participation however i have been told that i am not for this year. My start date was 6/28/99-present. the specific participation requirements= "Employees will be eligible to participate in the plan if they meet all the following requirements: They have completed a year of service, which is defined as 1,000 hours of service during a consecutive 12 month period." Plan year begins on April 1st and ends on March 31st. I have easily worked 1,000 hrs and actually approaches 2,000. thanks in advance.
