Brigham and Women;s Hospital offers a comprehensive Flexible Benefit Program, including pre-tax deductions designed to truly benefit our employees.
As one of the nation's most distinguished hospitals, it is only proper that we offer the kinds of salaries you'd expect from a healthcare leader. While salaries vary from position to position, they are always competitive with similar positions in other area hospitals, and in many cases, they exceed those of area hospitals.
BWH's unique Benefit Time program is a flexible paid time-off program giving you up to 29 days off every year — and 33 days off after 7 years of employment. This includes vacation, holidays, and sporadic illness. Benefit Time carries over from year to year until you reach your allowed maximum, and employees have the opportunity to cash out excess benefit time.
We are committed to making sure your time away from work is as rewarding as your career with us. To that end, we've created flexible work schedules that promote a work/life balance you won't find at other hospitals.

BWH offers some of the best healthcare plans available, with many affordable options designed to fit the needs of you and your family. These include:
The Mass General Brigham Plus and Mass General Brigham Value plan is administered by Mass General Brigham Health Plan and encompasses a very large and comprehensive network of top hospitals located throughout New England, including BWH!
All deductions are pre-tax and extend to you, your family, eligible dependents, and same-sex domestic partners.
Sixty percent (60%) coverage offered at no charge to employees working more than 20 hours per week. Employees can purchase an additional supplemental 15% at date of hire without evidence of insurability form.
Allows you to save money and plan for retirement through pre- and post-tax payroll deductions.
All employees are eligible to open flexible spending accounts that will reimburse you for out-of-pocket dependent or healthcare costs. Contributions to these accounts aren't subject to federal, state, or local taxes.
We believe in the security that life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance can provide. That's why benefits-eligible employees receive insurance equal to their salary, payable to anyone they choose. As your salary increases, so does the value of your policy. You may also purchase additional insurance coverage for yourself and your dependents.
This program is designed to help you save and pay for the cost of health benefits during retirement, as well as to provide access to retiree health plans sponsored by the hospital. One major feature of the program provides for a hospital matching contribution to help encourage savings under the program. You are eligible to participate in the RMSA beginning the calendar year you reach age 50.
As a teaching hospital, we are firm believers in the value of education. That's why we extend generous tuition reimbursement to all our full-time and part-time benefits-eligible employees who have been employed with us longer than 6 months.
For hospital-related non-degree courses, undergraduate degrees, or graduate degrees, reimbursement is $3,000 per year for full-time (36-40 hours per week) employees, and $2,000 for part-time (20-35 hours per week) employees.
For job related certifications or job-related continuing education courses, reimbursement is $1,600 per year for full-time (36 hours per week) employees, and $1,100 for part-time (20-35 hours per week) employees.
