Rehire Benefits:

Time-off Benefit (TOB)

• Your TOB will start accruing at the same rate as your previous term of employment.
• TOB will be based on your total years of service, including all the years of your first term with us. Example - If you had 5 years of service with Devereux during your first term, you will be accruing at the 5-years-of-service level upon your return.

Health Management Leave (HML)

• Left employment within six months? Your HML bank is restored – you lose no accrued HML!
• Left after six months? No matter how long you have been gone - you will receive 50% of your HML balance based on the remaining total you accrued before you left. Example - If you had 80 hours of HML time in your bank when you left, you will start with 40 hours in your bank.

Benefit Eligibility - Your benefit eligibility period will be effective the first day of the first pay period after 30 days of re-employment.

Retirement Plan - If you previously met the initial eligibility period to receive Devereux retirement employer contributions, you will start receiving those contributions right away – no waiting period.
