Benefits and paid leave

Colorado employees, including part-time and temporary employees, accrue paid sick leave at one hour for every 30 hours worked, up to 48 hours per year, under the Colorado Healthy Families and Workplaces Act. Accrual begins on the first day of employment. CRG benefits eligibility: CRG offers benefits to eligible full-time employees working 30 hours per week, with coverage beginning the first of the month following 30 days after hire. This assignment is only 8–12 hours per week and falls below that eligibility threshold; the insurance benefits summarized below are not offered as eligible benefits for this part-time assignment.

For eligible employees, CRG's benefits package may include medical coverage, voluntary dental and vision coverage, an HSA with the HSA medical plan, company-paid basic life and accidental death and dismemberment coverage for employees enrolled in a CRG medical plan, voluntary life and AD&D, voluntary short- and long-term disability, voluntary accident coverage, employee assistance resources and benefit advocacy support. Official CRG plan documents and carrier materials govern eligibility, coverage and enrollment. Colorado statutory paid sick leave described above applies independently of insurance-benefit eligibility.
