// Why Protokol

Employee benefits

We invest in the people who do the work. Here’s what full-time employees receive.

01

Paid Leave (PTO)

Full-time employees receive 6 weeks (240 hrs, accrued at 20 hrs/month) of combined PTO covering sick leave, vacation, and holidays. Protokol also provides up to 3 days of personal contingency leave (PCL) for unexpected circumstances such as bereavement or jury duty; PCL must be approved in advance.

02

Health Insurance

Comprehensive Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription Drug coverage. Protokol pays 100% of the health insurance premium; Dental and Vision are at no cost to the employee. For HSA plans with a deductible, Protokol contributes up to $3,000/year to the employee’s HSA (matching the individual or family deductible), paid in 12 equal monthly payments.

03

Life Insurance

Up to $100,000 of life insurance at no cost ($50,000 guaranteed; up to $100,000 subject to a physical exam).

04

Provided to all full-time employees at no cost.

05

Short-Term Disability
