Machinists who are employed full-time often receive benefits in addition to wages. Benefits may include extended health coverage, paid sick days, and paid vacation time.

Some machinists are members of trade unions, such as the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM). As a Union member, you have your wage rates and benefits negotiated for you by the union.
