403(b) Retirement Savings Our plan is administered by Vanguard, which enables you to allocate a portion of your pre-tax paycheck towards your retirement savings.
Voluntary Tax-Deferred Annuity Plan: After six months of employment, Jacob’s Pillow will add an extra 2% of your salary to your retirement plan. This plan follows a five-year vesting schedule, which gradually grants you full ownership of the employer contributions over time.
Paid Time Off
Vacation: Our vacation policy rewards your commitment with increasing time off – In your first year, you’ll receive 5 days of vacation. This increases to 10 days during your second and third years with us. As you reach your fourth year, your vacation days grow to 15, and by your fifth year and beyond, you’ll enjoy 20 days of vacation.
This progressive approach is our way of saying thank you for your continued dedication and to ensure you have ample time for yourself and your family, allowing everyone to stay connected and refreshed as part of our team.
