No-cost in-network telehealth has been extended through Dec. 31, 2024.

Note: Limitations apply in some states.

PNC's medical coverage includes access to Spring Health for faster, easier access to comprehensive mental health resources. Employees enrolled in a PNC medical option and their covered family members ages 6 and up can access a diverse network of quality therapists, including child therapists and couples' counselors, as well as on-demand guided exercises to manage stress, anxiety, sadness or whatever you're experiencing in life right now.

Forty-five percent of Spring Health's providers identify as BIPOC and 30% specialize in LGBTQ+ issues.

• Note: Although the maximum contribution is $5,000, those who meet the IRS definition of highly compensated typically have a lower contribution limit, per IRS rules. Any necessary adjustment will be determined during the plan year and communicated to impacted employees.
• Deposits are made on a per-pay-period basis throughout the year, and you have access to the funds as they are deposited into your account.
• The deadline to incur eligible expenses is Dec. 31, 2024, or you’ll forfeit unused funds. You will have until March 31 of the following year to submit claims.

Maternity Leave is covered under PNC’s Short-Term Disability (STD) program. Birth mothers who have at least one year of full-time or Reduced Schedule Professional (RSP) continuous service as of the date of leave are eligible for 10 work-weeks of Maternity Leave, payable at 100% of eligible compensation, starting with the first day off work (no elimination period is required). Birth mothers who are not eligible for 10 weeks of Maternity Leave may be eligible for six weeks of Standard STD as described in the Standard STD section below.

Maternity Leave and/or STD is in addition to Parental Leave for eligible new parents as described below. Please refer to Time Away from Work for eligibility and other details.

Eligible new parents of any gender are provided with eight work-weeks of time off, paid at 100% of regular salary, to bond with a new baby or child. Employees must meet eligibility requirements, including 90 days of continuous service before the date of a birth or in conjunction with an adoption. Time must be taken within one year after a birth or in conjunction with an adoption, and it must be taken in whole work-week increments. Parental Leave is in addition to Maternity Leave and/or STD available to birth mothers.

Full-time employees and Reduced Schedule Professionals (RSPs) have company-provided STD coverage as follows:

• If you have at least 90 days but less than one year of full-time continuous service and have satisfied the seven-day elimination period, you are eligible for 60% of eligible compensation for up to six work-weeks of disability.
• If you have at least one year of full-time continuous service and have satisfied the seven-day elimination period, you are eligible for up to six work-weeks at 100% of eligible compensation, then up to an additional six work-weeks at 60% of eligible compensation.

Full-time employees (including RSPs) have LTD coverage as follows:

• Company-provided LTD coverage of 60% of eligible compensation starts after completing 90 days of full-time continuous service. Benefits are payable after you have been totally disabled for 91 calendar days and approved by the administrator.
• You can elect to buy an additional 10% of coverage by choosing the 70% LTD option during annual enrollment.
• The monthly benefit maximum is $10,000.

This coverage pays a benefit in the event of accidental death or dismemberment.

• You may elect coverage from $10,000 to $500,000 (up to 10x your annual salary, on coverage options of $300,000 or greater).
• You also may elect family coverage, which pays a percentage of your employee coverage benefit.
• When you elect this coverage, it includes a benefit of $10,000 for a covered loss sustained by you as the result of a criminal act of violence that occurs while you are working.

All eligible employees may use up to two work-weeks* of Paid Family Leave per year (taken in full-day increments) to care for a seriously ill immediate family member. You may use Paid Family Leave for situations that qualify for FML, such as:

• Your spouse or partner is hospitalized with a serious illness or injury;
• Your child requires outpatient surgery and needs care when they get home;
• A parent is moving to hospice care and you want to be by their side; or
• You need to take your partner or child to and from lengthy physical therapy appointments.

Requests for Paid Family Leave must be approved by Lincoln Financial, entered in your Workday Absence Calendar, and reported to your manager and through the HR Service Center; time taken is applied toward your 12-week FML allowance.

* Paid Family Leave for RSP employees (who work less than a typical full-time schedule) will be prorated, based on their typical schedule over a two-week period.

Wellthy is a caregiving concierge service providing personalized support to help you tackle the logistical and administrative tasks of caring for the ones you love, including yourself.

Wellthy is available to full-time employees (including Reduced Schedule Professionals), part-time employees and employees on an approved leave (except long-term disability and personal leave) who are paid through PNC's U.S. payroll.

PNC pays 100% of the fees associated with the services Wellthy provides.

Refer to the Wellthy page in Pathfinder for full details.

• You may contribute from 1% to 75% of your eligible compensation on a pretax basis and/or through Roth after-tax contributions up to the IRS maximums.
• Starting with the first of the month following six months of service from your most recent hire date, PNC will match your pretax and/or Roth after-tax contributions dollar for dollar up to 4% of your eligible compensation (combined). You are vested in the company match after three years of service.
• There is a minimum company match of $2,000 if you contribute at least 4% every pay period throughout the year and remain employed by PNC on the last business day of that year. (The minimum match is prorated for those who are match-eligible for less than a full year.)

You choose from a variety of investment options to suit your personal savings and retirement goals.

Full-time employees become participants the first of the month following six months of service. The plan provides a retirement benefit that is company-funded. Your benefit accrues with earnings credits in an amount equal to a percentage of your eligible compensation each quarter, along with interest credits earned on your account balance each quarter. The benefit vests after three years of service.

• If you were covered by the PNC Pension Plan — including active participation in the National City portion — as of Dec. 31, 2009, you will be maintained at the earnings credit level you had attained on that date (from 3% to 8%, which was based on your age and years of service). Your earnings credit level will not increase in the future.
• If you first became a participant in the plan on or after Jan. 1, 2010, you will receive a fixed 3% earnings credit after becoming eligible for the plan.
• Effective Jan. 1, 2018, eligible employees receive a minimum $2,000 in earnings credit annually. (The minimum earnings credit is prorated for those who are participants for less than a full year.)

Full-time employees (including RSPs) accrue vacation time based on a schedule that includes your length of service as of your most recent hire date and your career level.

Carry over up to three accrued, unused regular (company-provided) vacation days to the following year. Carry-over days must be used before current year company-provided accrued vacation and before the end of the first quarter of that year. For example, if you carry over three unused vacation days from 2023, you must use those days by March 31, 2024. Any carry-over days remaining at the end of the first quarter will be forfeited.*

Carry-over is available for regular vacation days only. You cannot carry over purchased vacation days. (If you are unable to use all of your purchased vacation before the end of the calendar year, you may request reimbursement of unused, purchased vacation by following the instructions provided on News Online each fall.)

*Certain state laws, such as in California and Colorado, may require specific handling of vacation allowance and vacation accrual. Where this is the case, state law will prevail.
