2024 Part-Time Benefits and Programs — Overview

Benefit Key Features
Medical & Prescription Drug

Select Health Choice 1 or Health Choice 2. Both options offer the same features:

  • Use any doctor you choose. You’ll save money with in-network providers.
  • In-network preventive care (according to federal guidelines) is paid at 100% up to the allowable amount and not subject to the deductible.
  • Annual deductible: All non-preventive covered expenses — medical and prescription drug — go toward meeting the deductible.
  • Out-of-pocket maximum (OOP maximum): Protects you from unexpected high health care costs in any given year. Note: OOP Maximums work differently under individual and family coverage.
  • Comprehensive fertility treatment coverage through Progyny, subject to the annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
  • Prescription drug coverage through CVS Caremark: Certain covered preventive care drugs are covered at 80% or 100% and not subject to the deductible.
  • Includes access to Castlight’s health care cost and quality tools, in addition to the well-being program available to all employees.
  • Diabetes management and clinical weight loss programs through Virta.
Telehealth

You and your covered family members have access to convenient, affordable and in-network board-certified doctors by phone or video. Highmark and UHC partner with multiple telehealth providers for easy access to convenient care. Services and prices will vary based on the carrier, telehealth provider and type of service selected.

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

Note: Limitations apply in some states.

Spring Health

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.

Online resources and concierge services are available at no cost; in-network virtual counseling is available at no cost through Dec. 31, 2024; in-person counseling is subject to your in-network medical deductible and coinsurance.

Some participants may even reverse their type 2 diabetes and be able to reduce or stop their current diabetes-related medication; services are available at no cost through Dec. 31, 2024. Learn more about Virta.

Dental

Options include:

  • Preventive Preferred Dental Organization (PPDO) with an annual benefit maximum of $1,000 per person.
  • Preferred Dental Organization (PDO) with an annual benefit maximum of $2,000 per person.
  • Dental Maintenance Organization (DMO), where available, which requires that you select and use a primary-care dentist in order to receive benefits. There is no annual benefit maximum in this plan.

The PDO and DMO plans include orthodontic services for children. The PDO includes orthodontia for adults as well. The PPDO plan does not cover orthodontia for children or adults.

Life Insurance

$20,000 Life Insurance benefit is automatically provided by PNC.

Paid Family Leave

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 part-time employees will be prorated, based on their typical schedule over a two-week period.

Paid Parental Leave
(for birth or adoption)

Eligible new parents of any gender are provided with eight work-weeks of paid leave 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 work-weeks are calculated in the same manner as weekly vacation allowance.

Education Benefit

PNC partners with Guild to offer a best-in-class education experience that includes a curated catalog of hundreds of fully funded professional certificates, college prep courses, and associate and bachelor’s degrees in a wide range of fields of study that can support your growth and our success as a company.

Living Well

Living Well is available to all employees, and includes programs, tools and resources to support all aspects of your well-being: health, money and life. Some benefits and programs are also available to spouses/domestic partners and/or family members in the home.

The Wellness Rewards Program rewards you with points when you take certain steps to maintain or improve your well-being. If you (and your spouse/domestic partner, as applicable) are enrolled in a PNC medical option with a PNC BeneFit Plus Health Savings Account (HSA), you can redeem your points for up to $800 in your HSA, plus your spouse/domestic partner can earn up to an additional $400. If you’re not enrolled in a PNC medical option or don’t have an associated HSA, you can redeem your points for up to $100 in gift cards.

Free confidential assistance with life’s challenges, ranging from parenting and elder care support to mental health counseling. It is available 24/7 to employees and family members. Learn more about the EAP.

Just In Case Care

In partnership with Bright Horizons, a national network of back-up child and elder/adult care services can help you make it to work when your regular arrangements are unavailable.
Note: The IRS limits the amount employers can exclude from an employee’s income for dependent care assistance to $5,000 per year. Amounts over the $5,000 tax-free limit will be considered imputed income and taxed as regular wages. This limit applies to the value of any child or elder care services provided by PNC through Bright Horizons.

Visit the Just in Case Care page on Pathfinder to learn more.

Wellthy Caregiver Support

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. They can research options and connect you with appropriate services — such as financial, medical, legal, in-home services, housing and social/emotional needs — related to care for you, your spouse, children, parents, grandparents or another loved one.

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. However, Wellthy is a taxable benefit, which means you will be responsible for all income taxes on the value of the benefit (the benefit is valued at $300 per month for each active care plan). Refer to the Wellthy page in Pathfinder for full details.

Fertility Coverage through Progyny

Progyny provides comprehensive fertility coverage for all paths to parenthood, leveraging the latest technologies and treatments, access to high-quality care through a premier network of fertility specialists, and personalized support and guidance from dedicated Patient Care Advocates (PCAs).

Fertility treatment through Progyny is automatically included in both of PNC's Health Choice medical options for you and/or your enrolled spouse or domestic partner if applicable and is available through all carriers. Covered services will be subject to the same deductible and out-of-pocket maximum that apply to other eligible medical and prescription drug expenses.

Incentive Savings Plan (ISP) 401(k)

Part-time employees are eligible for the plan after completing one year of service. You are automatically enrolled at a pretax contribution rate of 4% in the BlackRock LifePath Target Date Fund according to your date of birth, unless you make different contribution/investment choices or decline the enrollment within 30 days of your eligibility date.

  • 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.
  • PNC will match your pretax and/or Roth after-tax contributions dollar for dollar up to 4% of your eligible compensation. You are eligible for the company match as soon as you enroll or the first of the month following six months from your most recent hire date, if later. 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 match your personal savings and retirement goals.
Pension Plan

Part-time employees become participants in the plan the first of the month after completing one year 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 participants receive a minimum of $2,000 in earnings credits annually. (The minimum earnings credit is prorated for those who are participants for less than a full year.)
Vacation

Active, part-time employees may be eligible for paid vacation time after their first year of service if they meet hours-worked requirements.

Holidays
  • The corporate holiday schedule provides 11 paid days per year, plus four hours of paid time off for cultural observance.

Part-time employees are eligible for paid holidays if the observed holiday falls on a regularly scheduled work day.

Paid Occasional Absence Days/Personal Day

These days can be used for personal illness, care of immediate family members or personal business that cannot be scheduled during non-working hours. Part-time employees are eligible for six Occasional Absence (OA) days per year (prorated for those who are hired or rehired, or change employment status during the year). Employees in the state of California do not have OA days but do have Paid Sick Days instead; refer to the OA days policy on Pathfinder for details.
