Benefits Package

Benefits are offered to regular part-time and regular full-time employees who work at least 36 hours every two weeks at Plumas District Hospital. Most benefits are available the first of the month following three months of service.

Most of the benefits listed below, such as the Health Benefit plans, must be accepted or declined upon eligibility after the three-month period. The decision to participate may not be reversed until the annual open enrollment period, unless you experience a Qualifying Event.

Paid Time Off (PTO) Program

Full time employees accrue 200 hours (25 days) per year of paid time off during their first four years of service. This is to be used for holidays, vacations, illness, 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, and may start using accrued hours following the standard 90-day probationary period. “Cash-out” options are available.

1-4 years of service = 200 hours/year
5-9 years = 240 hours/year
10+ years = 280 hours/year
