Paid leave
Most regular employees receive 11 observed holidays per year, as well as paid vacation and sick leave. Please refer to individual bargaining contracts.

Transparency in Coverage Machine-Readable Files
The Departments of Health and Human Services, Labor and the Treasury finalized the Transparency in Coverage Rule that requires health insurers to post publicly available machine-readable files that include in-network negotiated payment rates and historical out-of-network charges for covered items and services. The machine-readable files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to more easily access and analyze data. These files can be found here:
