Time Off Benefits
Paid Time Off
Paid time off (PTO) is a benefit that allows employees to take time away from work while still receiving their regular salary. This time off can be used for various purposes, including personal vacations, illness, family emergencies, or other personal needs. PTO provides flexibility and supports work-life balance by enabling employees to manage their time off according to their individual needs and circumstances, ensuring they can rest, recover, and attend to personal matters without financial concern. Immanuel offers many types of PTO, from Volunteer Time Off (VTO), Floating Holidays, and Paid Holidays.
Flexibility and Balance
PTO, VTO, and floating holidays are crucial benefits that support employees' overall well-being and work-life balance. PTO allows for personal time off while maintaining income, helping employees manage personal and health needs. VTO encourages community involvement by providing time to volunteer, fostering a sense of purpose and engagement. Floating holidays offer flexibility to observe personal or cultural holidays not covered by standard holidays, enhancing inclusivity. Together, these benefits contribute to a supportive and balanced work environment.

Mission in Action
Volunteer Time Off (VTO)
Our mission is “Christ-Centered Service to Seniors, Each Other, and the Community”. We encourage employees to model this through service in the community. All full-time employees (scheduled 28 hours or more) will earn 1 day (up to 8 hours) of VTO per calendar year. If starting 07/01 or after this will be 4 hours.
This VTO may be taken in half (4 hours) or full (8 hours) day increments and is paid at the employee’s regular rate of pay.
VTO is an activity that can be completed to help earn points towards your wellness reward as a part of the Employee Wellness Program.
Examples of appropriate uses of VTO include:
- Volunteering at a food bank
- Cleaning up a park or trail
- Serving as a mentor or coach through a mentorship program
- Volunteering at a local hospital
