10 Stand-Out Benefits that UPMC Employees Enjoy

Your loved ones are your top priority. When childcare plans fall through, emergencies come up, or an elderly family member needs an extra hand when you’re not able to be around, UPMC employees can have peace of mind with a premium membership to Care.com. As part of your membership, UPMC provides five backup care days for children or adults per calendar year, plus unlimited access to Care.com’s database of services for household assistance, pet sitters, and more.

UPMC’s paid time off (PTO) program allows our employees to earn PTO benefits that provide time off from work to take care of the things that are important to them. Enjoy up to five weeks of paid time off accrued per year for sick, personal, or vacation time, as well as seven paid holidays a year. Plus, earn up to 16 extra PTO hours through our employee blood donation program. Need more or less than that? During select times, eligible staff may also qualify to purchase additional PTO (PTO Buy) or sell excess PTO (PTO Sell).

UPMC offers several options to help employees find solutions to better manage student loan debt.
