Overview
Shields Health recognizes that a healthy work/life balance is important to your well-being. That is why you are provided with Paid Time-Off (PTO) for personal, leisure, and wellness time management. You may use your PTO for purposes such as vacations, sick time, and personal days.
Eligibility: All regularly scheduled hourly and salaried employees with a work schedule of 20 or more hours per week, with the exception of senior managers and physicians are eligible for PTO.
Employees eligible under the PTO policy will also be eligible for the Student Loan Debt Assistance Program. See the Benefits section of the InfoHub or contact Human Resources for more information.
