W. L. Butler Construction, Inc., a general contractor specializing in superior quality automotive and retail projects, industrial buildings, commercial shells and tenant improvements, was the proud recipient of the Family Friendly Employer Award sponsored by the Fatherhood Collaborative of San Mateo County.
This distinguished award was presented to W. L. Butler Construction because the company truly recognizes that being a parent is an added responsibility for working families. The company abides by all parent-friendly laws detailed in the Work and Families Act and provides benefits which are uniquely designed to cover the entire family. An onsite benefits manager is available to assist all team members with the management of their medical and dental, vision, paid personal time off, paid holidays, life insurance, 401K matching and cafeteria "flex" plans. Flexible schedules and working from home options are also available when applicable, as well as tuition reimbursement, 529 savings plan, wellness programs and career advancement opportunities.
Bill Butler, Founder and CEO of W. L. Butler Construction, and a father of three, believes in the importance of family. "We're a very family-oriented company, and I don't use that term lightly. When we welcome you to our family, we also welcome your entire family 'literally.' Several of our tenured team members are blood relatives and we offer internship programs to help grow the next generation of the Butler family. Moreover, we host a number of events throughout the year to bring everyone together including picnics, Easter egg hunts and charity fundraisers."
W. L. Butler Construction is such a special company because of its ongoing commitment to the wellbeing of all the hard working men and women that make the company what it is, as well as the surrounding communities which have helped it prosper. To that end, the company proudly supports a number of organizations focused on families including the Boys and Girls Club, Family Giving Tree, Heart of America, JobTrain (formerly O.I.C.W.), Little League, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, Make-A-Wish, March of Dimes, Pacific Autism Center for Education, Peace Officers Firefighters Fellowship, Rebuilding Together, Second Harvest Food Drive, Shelter Network, St. Francis Center, Via Services, Walton Special Center, Youth and Family Enrichment Services and a number of local elementary and high schools to name a few.
"I would like to personally thank the Fatherhood Collaborative for this award," says Frank York, President at W. L. Butler Construction. Many groups around the world are working to enhance the rights of fathers in being a part of their children's lives. When you consider how many great companies and individuals in our community alone who do so much it is truly an honor for both myself and the entire Team to be recognized."
Frank York received the award on behalf of W. L. Butler Construction on May 19, 2008 at the Sixth Annual Dads Count Fatherhood Breakfast and Awards Ceremony located at the Westin San Francisco Airport.
