WHY WORK AT UNITUS

In 2006, Unitus was named one of the "25 Best Places to Work" by Seattle Metropolitan magazine. It wasn’t a surprise to us—we strive to be the best place that anyone on our staff has ever worked.

Our team shares a strong set of values which we refer to as “the way we do it at Unitus.” We believe in excellence, innovation, smart-thinking, and a drive toward results. Every day, our team strives to realize our own full potential so that we can do our best work on behalf of the world’s poor.

We are committed to developing and maintaining a workplace environment and culture that makes Unitus a unique and fulfilling place to work, and we’re proud of the benefits package we offer in support of that goal. Current benefits include:

• Paid Time Off
  While we work hard at Unitus, we want each staff member to be as fulfilled in their personal life as in their professional life, and offer an impressive package of time off to ensure that.
  
  Annual Paid Time Off:
  15 Vacation Days
  5 Personal Days
  8 Paid Holidays
  2 Floating Holidays
  10 Sick Days
  
  Additionally, Unitus offers paid “comp time” to employees for work-related travel on weekends, provides bereavement leave, and pays regular salaries for time spent at jury duty.
  
• Health Insurance
  Unitus pays 100 percent of the monthly premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees, their spouse or domestic partner, and their dependents.
  
• 403(b) Retirement Plan
  Unitus offers a 403(b) retirement plan to all full time employees. Employees receive an automatic 3% contribution and Unitus will match up to an additional 3% if an employee contributes as well—totaling 6% maximum employer contribution.
  
• Disability and Life Insurance
  Unitus provides company-paid short- and long-term disability and life insurance. Employees who travel overseas regularly are also eligible for a company-paid supplemental policy.
  
• Maternity and Paternity Leave
  New moms and dads receive 6 weeks of paid time off and are eligible for up to 3 months of unpaid time off.
  
• Flexible Spending Plan
  Unitus employees can participate in Flexible Spending Plans that allow them to set aside a portion of their income before taxes to pay for health care and dependent care expenses. Employees can set aside up to $5,000 per year for health care expenses and $5,000 per year for dependent care.
  
• Corporate Mobile Phone Plan
  The nature of our global organization and our emphasis on flexibility means Unitus employees need the right technologies to stay in touch. Part of how we achieve that is by providing eligible employees with company-paid mobile phones for voice and data connectivity.
  
• Training and Development
  Unitus offers up to $2,000 per year for each employee to pursue training and development opportunities.
  
• Transportation Assistance
  Unitus Seattle employees are eligible for company-paid bus or ferry passes to get them swiftly to and from work.
