Retirement Benefits
Cedars-Sinai has put a progressive retirement benefits program in place that is designed to give employees their choice of retirement benefits plans. We are one of a very few employers in the United States that offers its employees a choice of retirement options to best meet employee needs.
Our employees have a choice of either a Defined Contribution Plan or a Defined Benefit Plan.
- Defined Contribution Plan - Cedars-Sinai deposits a contribution in a Defined Contribution Plan Account each quarter. The amount of contribution depends upon years of eligible service and pay. This plan pays a lump sum benefit when the employee ends his/her employment.
- Defined Benefit Plan - This plan pays a monthly benefit amount for the employee's lifetime when he or she retires. This benefit is based on the pay that the employee receives from Cedars-Sinai while participating in this plan and the employee's age when he or she starts receiving it.
- Tax-Sheltered Annuity Plan - The 403(b) plan is a retirement savings plan that offers employees the opportunity to save and invest their money on a pre-tax basis. Cedars-Sinai matches a percentage of employee contributions to the 403(b) up to a maximum based on a percentage of employee pay. The match is only for eligible employees. Financial advisors are on site to assist with financial planning and investment strategy.
Paid Time Off
The primary paid time off benefit account is used for personal time off, such as vacation, holiday, personal needs and short-term illness.
Eligible employees who lose members of their immediate family may take up to three days of paid bereavement leave.
Extended Sick Leave
Eligible employees earn up to six extended sick leave days per year.
Insurance
- Health and Dental Insurance - Group health insurance plans are available for eligible employees, their spouses or domestic partners, and dependent children. The Healthcare Premium Payment Plan allows employees to pay their portion of health and dental premiums on a pre-tax basis.
