Plumas District Hospital strives to provide you and your family with a comprehensive and valuable benefits package. We want to make sure you’re getting the most out of our benefits.
Benefits are offered to Full-time employees working 72-80 hours per 2 week pay period and Part-time employees working 36+ hours per 2 week pay period. Family members who are eligible for coverage are Legal spouses, Registered domestic partners, and Dependent children under age 26.
Most of the benefits listed below, such as the Health Benefit plan, must be accepted or declined upon eligibility after the waiting period. The decision to participate may not be changed until the Annual Enrollment Period in December, unless you experience a Qualifying Event.
Full time employees accrue Paid Time Off (PTO) hours each year. This PTO is used for holidays, vacations, family emergencies, etc., at the employees’ discretion and with the permission of their supervisor. Part-time employees accrue at a pro-rated amount, per hour of service. Employees begin accruing PTO immediately upon employment in a benefited status, and may start using accrued hours following a 30-day waiting period (exception for use during holidays).
