Pension Plan

Unheard of benefit these days.

It depends on your position (MD, RN, RPh, PA, etc.) and if you work a minimum of 1000 hours a year (~20 hours a week). Vestment is 5 years of service. It is 2-3% a year of service (so say I get a 2% benefit and work for 35 years, then I get 70% of my monthly pay per month). You can retire at 50, but you will have reduced monthly pay (59% is cut out of your potential monthly paycheck). Department of Defense (ie VA) is 1% a year (really bad!), while CALpers was 2% at 62 (there is a maximum amount). It also depends which Sutter Health facility has it or not. You have to contact the specific facility's HR department.

It’s vested at 5 years so it’s a good incentive to stay with Sutter long term.

Pension vested after 5 years

Pension contribution is very small

They want to give you a "cash out" lump sum so they avoid any pension for their employees

not bad, comprable to another large health care network.....

It's 1000 a yr if you work 1000 hrs. I'm not sure how that compares to orher companies.

Basic and poor compared to surrounding hospitals
