I happened to look at the bennies yesterday. Looks pretty much like what I was getting at my last hospital. FERS Information (opm.gov) FERS is a retirement plan that provides benefits from three different sources: aBasic Benefit Plan, Social Security and the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). Two of the three parts of FERS (Social Security and the TSP) can go with you to your next job if you leave the Federal Government before retirement. The Basic Benefit and Social Security parts of FERS require you to pay your share each pay period. Your agency withholds the cost of the Basic Benefit and Social Security from your pay as payroll deductions. Your agency pays its part too. Then, after you retire, you receive annuity payments each month for the rest of your life. The TSP part of FERS is an account that your agency automatically sets up for you. Each pay period your agency deposits into your account amount equal to 1% of the basic pay you earn for the pay period. You can also make your own contributions to your TSP account and your agency will also make a matching contribution. These contributions are tax-deferred. The Thrift Savings Plan is administered by the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board. -- RETIREMENT PLAN Adventist Health Retirement Plan Adventist Health Retirement Plan is a tax sheltered annuity that employees may enroll in to make contributions through payroll deduction. You can participate in the plan as soon as you begin employment. The hospital pays a basic 3% contribution and a match of up to 2%. Employees must work 1,000 hours per calendar year in a benefited position to qualify for the hospital contribution. Other Plans There are other independent tax sheltered annuities. No contribution or match from the hospital and no vesting requirement.

When caught in a lie, you MAGA cultists move the goalposts. But hardly anyone quotes the value of benefits when they mention salaries. It isn't until a Fed employee gets a bachelor Degree that his basic wage drops below that of the private sector. I guess the piKter was too much for you to comprehend. Those shaded areas are tricky, right? As for BS, who you gonna believe? The CBO or these guys(your link)? "Federal employees in 2024 on average earned 24.72% less than their counterparts in similar private sector jobs, according to a new report from the Federal Salary Council that is based on Bureau of Labor Statistics data. The council, which is composed of presidentially appointed federal human resources experts and public union representatives, advises on issues related to government employee compensation. Doreen Greenwald, the national president of the National Treasury Employees Union and a council member, argued the data shows agencies need to provide higher salaries. “It is a loss to our country when highly qualified professionals turn away from critical public service jobs because the paychecks can’t keep up with for-profit corporations,” Greenwald said in a statement. “We call on Congress and the White House to make sure federal salaries don’t lose ground in 2025.” This year’s pay disparity is a slight improvement from 2023 when the council reported a 27.54% difference. NTEU attributed the improvement to the average 5.2% pay raise that federal employees received in 2024, which was the largest increase in more than 40 years." And yes, people are VERY concerned about benefits....so that would be yet another lie from you. tres.health Employees Expectations for Health Benefits With 89% of American workers preferring employer-sponsored health coverage and 95% valuing its convenience1, it’s clear that the right benefits can make or break your ability to attract talent. In fact, 41% of Indeed job postings in May 20242 highlighted employee benefits as a key feature. And, as the demand for quality benefits continues to rise, employers who fail to adapt may risk falling behind or losing talent.
