ALPHATECH is proud to offer one of the most comprehensive benefits packages in the industry. At ALPHATECH, we recognize the importance of protecting the good health and financial security of our employees and their families. The following benefits package is offered to regular employees who work at least 32 hours per week. 

At ALPHATECH, we recognize that each and every one of our employees have full lives outside of work. Our goal is to create a comfortable environment for our employees to enjoy, one that incorporates work/life programs. In addition to regular attention to work/life programs, ALPHATECH tries to incorporate our employees' families into numerous events throughout the year, like our summer outing, our annual Halloween trick-or-treating event, and our year-end holiday bash!

Flexible Hours of Work

ALPHATECH recognizes that different people are productive at different times of the day. 

We also acknowledge that commuting to and from work in the Boston or Washington D.C. areas is not an easy feat. To assist employees with managing their time and commute, ALPHATECH allows each employee to set his/her daily schedule, around the core hours of 10:00 and 3:00. Employees may elect to begin their day as early at 6:30 a.m., or as late as 10:00 a.m., which ever time suits both them and their project assignments the best.

Vacation and Holidays 

New hires accrue two weeks of vacation annually during their first two years of employment with ALPHATECH. Beginning their third year of employment, they accrue three weeks of vacation per year. We also pay employees for ten holidays each calendar year.

Profit Sharing and Pre-Tax Savings Accounts 

Profit Sharing and 401(k) Plan

Our employees share in the Company's success through a generous profit sharing program. Since 1993, our employees have received an additional 8.5% of their annual wages as a tax-deferred deposit to their 401(k) Accounts. In addition, we match employees $.50 on the dollar for the first 3% of their annual salary they contribute to the 401(k) Plan.

Khakis, button-down shirts, jeans, and sneakers!
