Employment Benefits

These are just a few of the benefits we have to offer our employees. Of course the greatest benefit of all is working as part of our family in a meaningful career.

Promotion

It is the policy of St. Louis Center that, as our organization continues to expand and grow, we will endeavor to fill new job opportunities from among our own employees, provided, in St. Louis Center’s judgment, a fully qualified person is available. Wherever possible depending on qualifications, current staff will receive first consideration for available positions.

Medical Insurance

All full time employees may elect to enroll in medical and dental plans, after completion of a three-month period commencing with the date of hire, or successful completion of the trial period, including any extensions, whichever period is greater. St. Louis Center covers 75% of the insurance premium for single coverage, while the employee is required to cover the remaining 25%. If an employee elects 2-person or family coverage, the employee must also pay 100% of the difference between basic coverage and the coverage elected.

Holidays

Salaried employees receive the following paid holidays:

• Labor Day 
• New Years Eve
• New Years Day
• Memorial Day
• Independence Day
• Christmas Eve
• Christmas Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Day after Thanksgiving

Because we are a residential facility and must have staff here at all times, some employees do work on the holidays listed above.

Paid Time Off (PTO)

Paid Time Off (PTO) provides employees with the flexibility to use their time off to meet personal needs, while recognizing individual responsibility to manage paid time off.

Employees accumulate a specified amount of PTO each pay period worked and it is up to each employee to allocate how they use it: for vacation, illness, child care, school activities, medical/dental appointments, personal business or emergencies. The PTO accrual rate is based on length of service and is subject to pro-ration for hours worked.
