As part of Loma Linda University Health’s commitment to competitively compensate employees, two new enhancements are being introduced in response to employee feedback and market analysis: 1) improved continuing education benefits and 2) differential pay for preceptor hours.*
As an academic healthcare facility, Loma Linda University Health values the personal and professional growth of employees, and market data confirms that its educational benefits exceed what most employers offer.
To further show appreciation to long-term employees, the organization is enhancing the educational benefit.
Effective July 2017, Loma Linda University Health is adding two additional tiers of benefits based on years of service. As a result, the benefit increased from $300 up to a maximum benefit of $1,200, based on years of service and benefit eligibility status. The benefit can now be used toward continuing education courses and seminars.
Employees are encouraged to take advantage of the educational benefits offered.
Human Resource Management values staff feedback, which it seeks through the Employee Recruitment & Retention Committee. The educational benefit enhancement partly grew out of that process, along with the following compensation change.
As a teaching facility, precepting is an essential part of staff development and the delivery of patient care. As such, differential pay for certain eligible clinical jobs became effective July 2, 2017, to coincide with the new fiscal year. The API automation of this differential pay is expected to be in place by the pay period ending July 29.
In the meantime, for pay period ending July 15, 2017, departments shall submit their authorization for differential pay via spreadsheet information:
• EE#
• Employee name
• Differential (PC1 or PC2)
• Date of occurrence
• In and out clockings
Once the system changes are live in API, workforce management will notify editors and approvers and provide instructions.
