Life at Mercy is special

We offer two triple option medical plans: a Premier Plan and a Standard Plan. Both plans include prescription drug coverage and vision coverage. Prescription and vision coverage are bundled with the health insurance and therefore cannot be elected independently from the medical insurance. In addition, Mercy offers a $0 copay prescription program for brand name prescriptions through CRX International, which is voluntary.

Flexible Spending Account: Mercy offers both Health Care and Dependent Care Accounts. These plans provide a method to pay for certain eligible health care expenses and for qualified dependent childcare expenses on a pre-tax basis. Funds may be directed into either or both accounts by authorizing money to be deducted from your paycheck.

Mercy has a PPO Dental plan, which covers diagnostic and preventive services, general services, major services and orthodontics (up to age 19).

Mercy offers a 403(b) Retirement Plan. Employees may be eligible for the employer match the first full quarter after one year of service. In order to be eligible for the employer match, employees must be benefits-eligible, a 0.4 FTE or greater and must have worked a minimum of 250 hours in the quarter. We also have a 403(b) Catch-Up plan and 457(b) Deferred Compensation plan.

Once individuals have been employed with Mercy for 12 months, we are happy to offer eligible employees tuition reimbursement. Individuals can enroll in any accredited school & take job related / hospital related courses. There is a two-year commitment following completion of studies that is required after enrollment in the program.

Please note: Grant funded employees are not eligible to participate in this program.

• Short Term Disability: Mercy provides employer paid short term disability benefits to benefits-eligible employees (32 hours per pay period or greater) in the event that you become temporarily disabled.
• Long Term Disability: Mercy provides employer paid long term disability benefits to full-time employees (64 hours per pay period or greater).

Mercy offers competitive paid time off packages that not only roll over to the years to come, but are effective immediately upon start dates (Departmental Policies apply)

At our downtown campus, employees are able to park in one of our three garages that are attached to our main hospital buildings by a skywalk. Employees are charged a pre-tax, discounted rate, and also have the option to park in a nearby, open lot for a nominal fee.

It’s as easy as that! Mercy offers an onsite dry-cleaning service. Don’t have time to get to the dry cleaners? We’ve got you covered. Employees can drop their clothing off at a location at work & pick it up later that week!

Mercy values the professional and career advancement of our employees and offers a variety of continuing education opportunities for our employees. Anywhere from CPR courses to “Lunch & Learn” Seminars, we have the mentors and resources to support our employees in their continuing education endeavors!

While our mission revolves around the compassionate care of others, it’s equally as important we care for our employees. Our WellWorks (Employee Assistance Program) provides a comprehensive and confidential wellness, short-term counseling and referral program for all employees and their household members, regardless of their employment status. The plan also provides financial and legal services.

Mercy Dollars program offers a per pay reduction off of the cost of medical insurance for those benefits-eligible employees earning less than a particular hourly rate.
