Employee Benefits

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 at the end of the calendar year, unless you experience a Qualifying Event.

Paid time off (PTO) program

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).

Accrual schedule

  • <4.999 yrs. of service = 200 hours/year
  • 5-9.999 years = 240 hours/year
  • 10 or more years = 280 hours/year

Paid Sick Leave program

All employees who are anticipated to complete 30 days of employment during the calendar year receive Paid Sick Leave hours beginning with their 30th day of employment. Five days are frontloaded based upon the anticipated work schedule. Hours may be used for employee or family member illness or medical care, or for time off related to needs due to being a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault or stalking.

Health Benefits

Available after 30 days of continuous service in a benefited status. We offer a comprehensive Health Benefits package (Medical & Pharmacy Plan, Dental Plan and Vision Plan).Employees contribute to a portion of the cost, with the Hospital picking up the majority of the cost. Employee contributions are made via bi-weekly payroll deductions on a pre-tax basis. Employees can cover themselves and all eligible family members. Certain benefits may be unbundled.
