Resources for Living, the Nemours Employee Assistance Program (EAP), is more than just a counseling service. It is a holistic resource for helping associates balance work and life, not only emotionally but financially and legally as well. There is even a chat and a televideo option called Talkspace for members ages 13 and older that can enhance your coverage options.

Resources for Living provides up to eight free sessions for each covered person for each issue annually. And, if you use the Talkspace option for chat or televideo, each week of either chat or televideo counts as only one session.

Resources for Living is a free, confidential, 24-hour/day, 365 days/year service sponsored by Nemours. This benefit covers all members of your household, including dependent children up to the age of 26. Contact Resources for Living:

• By phone at 855.506.2373
• Online at ResourcesForLiving.com

When logged on, you can access Talkspace to access a licensed therapist. You can also view the online library of tools. There is even an app that can be downloaded to access content on-the-go with a mobile device.

Full-time and part-time associates working at least 20 hours per week accrue PTO each pay period, according to position and length of service. For example, full-time associates (40 scheduled hours per week) with less than five completed years of service accrue 25 PTO days. You may carry time over from year to year, however, once the maximum or cap is reached, additional accruals stop until time is used. New associates are eligible to use PTO after 90 days.

* Annual accrual shown is based on a 1.0 FTE.
Note: PTO accrual schedule and usage eligibility may differ for selected associates, for example physicians and residents.

Nemours also offers an annual PTO Buyback option that allows eligible associates to sell a certain number of unused PTO hours.

borrowers who make 120 eligible payments while employed full-time (30 hours per week) by an eligible 501(c)(3)
