Employee Benefits
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center offers a comprehensive employee benefits program that is equal to or better than the majority of the other health care institutions in the city. The benefits program is constantly reviewed to identify better ways to deliver world-class benefits.
Many of these benefits, such as life insurance, long-term disability insurance and pension plans are paid in full by the medical center. The major costs of others, such as health and dental insurance, are also paid so that employees can obtain this protection at substantially lower rates.
Eligibility
Employees are eligible for benefits if they are scheduled to work at least 40 hours per two-week pay period. In some cases, those who work in a limited part-time, temporary or standby status are eligible for some of the benefit plans.
