New enhanced benefits for front-line physicians and staff


We are truly awed and deeply appreciative of the tremendous commitment, expertise, and sacrifice shown by the people of Kaiser Permanente Southern California during the coronavirus pandemic. We recognize that these times create unique challenges. To help meet them, we are implementing supplemental benefits and pay programs, developed in partnership with our labor leaders.
These temporary COVID-19-related benefits will be available to physicians and employees actively in patient care environments. Part-time employees and per diem employees who work at least 20 hours per week are also eligible. Benefits include:

  • Additional paid time off if you need to be away from work because you have tested positive for COVID-19
  • Childcare grants for your school-age children or dependent disabled adult children while you are at work.
  • Short-term housing near our medical centers and specialty hubs for certain situations.
