Kaiser Permanente recognizes many of the people of KP are facing significant, unprecedented challenges at work while managing sudden and traumatic changes in daily and family lives. Therefore, we are implementing temporary benefits and pay programs to assist them in caring for themselves and their families.
These temporary COVID-19-related benefits were developed in consultation with labor leaders and will be available to physicians and employees actively working in patient care environments. Part-time employees and per diem employees who work at least 20 hours per week are also eligible. Benefits include:
- Additional paid time off if you need to be away from work because you have tested positive for COVID-19
- Childcare grants for your school-age children or dependent disabled adult children while you are at work.
- Short-term housing near our medical centers and specialty hubs for certain situations.
For details, eligibility, and other information visit My HR or Here4You. Physicians will access these benefits through Permanente Human Resources Shared Services.
