    Employee Benefits Summary

    Health Care Insurance Premium Reimbursement

    Full time employees working 30 hours or more per week are eligible to participate in Keshet’s Qualified Small Employer HRA (QSEHRA). Under this program, Keshet will contribute 50% of the monthly out-of-pocket premium expense, up to $250 each month, as an addition to the employee’s paycheck. Documentation of premium payments must be provided to Keshet. This Plan is intended to be a Premium-Only Plan; that is, the only medical expenses eligible for reimbursement are health insurance premiums, including dental and vision.

    All eligible employees will receive a copy of the plan annually.

    Flexible Paid Leave

    Keshet Dance and Center for the Arts hires exceptional, professional adults to perform a wide variety of important functions that contribute to the overall success of the organization. It is Keshet's intent to provide its employees the freedom they require to balance the responsibilities of both their work and home lives, thereby maximizing their value to Keshet.

    Keshet Flexible Paid Leave policy expects that all Keshet staff will annually utilize a minimum of the equivalent of 4 weeks paid vacation time, and a maximum of 8 weeks paid vacation time. These hours/days/weeks of vacation time are taken in whatever flexible structure makes sense for each employee, in coordination with their Keshet team to ensure programming, operations and staff are all supported as needed.

    Eligibility

    All salaried employees with 90 days of continuous employment are eligible under this policy.

    Expectations

    Under this policy, salaried employees are expected to:

      • Recognize that at Keshet, we value all employees' contributions and are committed to communicating with necessary supervisors and staff in advance when scheduling an absence or notifying our direct supervisor before the start of the workday when an unscheduled absence occurs.
      • Understand that due to staffing needs, sometimes, not all leave requests can be approved. Advance requests are still subject to the appropriate approval.

    Except for those on protected leave (such as state or federal family and medical leave), if an eligible employee is unable to meet the expectations outlined above, Keshet reserves the right to temporarily revoke flexible paid leave. If gross abuse of this leave is observed, disciplinary action may be taken, which may include termination of employment.

    Verification

    Managers and Team Leads also reserve the right to request verification of absences (such as a doctor's note) when legal and appropriate to do so.

    Keshet Time Off Request Procedures & Criteria

    Short-Term Request (up to 2 consecutive work days):

    Vacation Request (3 or more consecutive work days):

    • Submit request via email to direct supervisor and Human Resources Coordinator three (3) weeks in advance
    • Supervisor and Human Resources Coordinator have one week to approve

    Priority given with the following criteria in mind:

    • Arrange with supervisor for best efforts to cover your absence

    Unexpected Time-Off - Sick/Personal Days:

    • Communicate immediately with direct supervisor
    • Arrange with supervisor for best efforts to cover your unexpected absence

    Paid Parental Leave

    Keshet Dance and Center for the Arts recognizes the importance of allowing employees to care for and bond with a newborn or newly adopted or placed child without concern of financial hardship.  As such, Keshet will provide up to 12 weeks of paid parental leave to eligible employees following the birth of an employee’s child or the placement of a child with an employee in connection with adoption or foster care. Each week of paid parental leave is compensated at 100 percent of the employee’s average, weekly pay from the 12 months prior.  

    Additionally, Keshet offers eligible employees the opportunity to return to work in a phased and reduced hours approach for 12 additional weeks at 100% regular compensation, following the initial 12-week leave period.

    Flexible Hybrid Work Space

    In a similar vein as Keshet’s Flexible Paid Leave Policy, Keshet hires exceptional, professional adults to perform a wide variety of important functions that contribute to the overall success of the organization. It is Keshet's intent to provide its employees the freedom they require to balance the responsibilities of both their work and home lives, thereby maximizing their value to Keshet.

    Keshet expects all employees to be engaged and productive, whether working from home or working at Keshet.

    There is no tracking of percentage of time at home or in person, rather, Keshet expects that all employees will choose a balance that makes sense for themselves, their families, their specific position/duties and Keshet, and the community connectivity of a thriving and engaged team of co-workers, artists, and educators. If at any time this balance feels off (either from the perspective of the employee, their supervisors, or their co-workers) it is expected that productive communication and collaborative problem solving will take place.
