Yeah, we had our explained clearly in orientation, and it’s in the employee handbook, also available in orientation or the company handbook. I manage people, and if they ask me, I’ll pull out the handbook and show them. It’s not hard, there’s a nice table of contents and everything, and the relevant section is like 2 paragraphs.
In fact, I consult it periodically and find cool stuff that I wasn’t aware of (but also not relevant to me), like bereavement leave (apparently extra PTO if someone dies, and you get different amounts based on relationship), or our profit-sharing plan (X% of compensation to retirement plan, has a vesting schedule; separate from matching plan and bonus).
Read through your benefits, you might just find something cool. If not, at least you’re not doing your actual, boring work…
