SIOUX FALLS S.D. (KELO.com) — Sanford Health is providing a financial boost to many of its employees in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Family Stability plan includes a one-time cash bonus of $300 for full-time employees with part-time workers receiving an additional $150 in their paycheck. It will also offer three months of paid health care premiums and flexibility with paid time off.
Sanford Chief Administrative Officer Bill Gassen says, ” We don’t know what’s going on on the other side of the family. We don’t know if they have spouses who are without work or whatever else is going on in their family. So, we really wanted to come forward and take care of those individuals who really are at the heart of what we are doing here at Sanford Health.”
Sanford Health has 49,000 employees and 44 hospitals throughout North Dakota, Minnesota, and South Dakota.
