Civilian Benefits – What to Expect

 
Most transitioning military professionals do not know what to expect when entering the civilian workforce in terms of the benefits package they can expect to receive. This section will provide an overview on typical benefits packages in the types of companies in which we usually place our candidates.

In addition to salary, a company’s benefit package is a key component to an overall job package, and the more information you have when considering an offer, the better decision you can make. This section is not all-inclusive, but it is intended to highlight the most common benefit options provided by employers today.
 
Vacation, Holidays and Time Off
 
On average, you can expect to accrue vacation and sick days on a per month basis, with most companies offering 7-14 days vacation a year.

In addition to vacation days, most companies also observe certain standard national holidays throughout the year, to include the following:
 
• New Years Day
• Memorial Day
• 4th of July
• Labor Day
• Thanksgiving
• Christmas Day
