Good health insurance is a must have these days. Most companies offer competitive health plans. But 博亚国际娱乐城 is going a step beyond, making sure employees also have the time they need to recover from medical procedures at 100% of their salaries. Nan Jones can tell you first-hand how much that means to her.
Nan isn鈥檛 an extravagant person with off-the-chart wants. What she wanted was to be able to play on the floor with her grandchildren, or to take long walks, or plant flowers in her yard.
Nan hasn鈥檛 been able to do any of those things for almost eight years. Doctors told her back then she鈥檇 need knee replacement surgery to stop the pain and improve her mobility. So, Nan started saving and planning.
Saving for surgery
Nan works for , a division of 博亚国际娱乐城. She knew she had good health insurance coverage. But before 2022, medical leave was covered at 70% of her normal salary. What she wasn鈥檛 sure how she was going afford the weeks following her surgery while she was recuperating. Every time she saved it seemed some other emergency would come along and wipe out what she鈥檇 put aside.
With her mobility shrinking and her pain increasing, Nan knew she couldn鈥檛 postpone her surgery anymore.
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 know how I was going to do it,鈥� Nan recalls, 鈥渂ut I just thought, 鈥榊ou know, my life and quality of life is getting out of control and I need to do something.鈥欌��
She called her doctor and scheduled knee surgery, assuming she鈥檇 simply have to live off her credit card to make ends meet.
A miracle in the making
Then came the announcement that changed Nan鈥檚 life. 博亚国际娱乐城 had beefed up its benefits package, adding sick time and medical leave at 100% of an employee鈥檚 salary for up to 11 weeks.
Nan couldn鈥檛 help but cry.
鈥淭his is honestly like a little miracle just for me,鈥� she says. 鈥淎 burden I had been carrying for eight years was lifted.鈥�
