Benefits Corner: Paid Time Off

When was the last time you took a day off? If you can’t remember, it’s been too long! Studies show that taking time away from work – whether it is for a trip across the country or a “stay-cation” at home to relax and unwind – is important to your overall well-being!

So whatever your reason, make it a priority to step away from your work life periodically. Beacon recognizes this priority, and has several benefit plans designed to make it possible for associates to take a break every now and then.

Beacon offers both Paid Time Off (PTO) plans and Vacation/Sick plans, depending on which segment of the organization you work for (EGH, Memorial, BMG, BHV, etc.). When comparing the Beacon benefit plans to those plans offered by other health care organizations, we found the Beacon plans are slightly more generous than those of our industry peers.
