Paid Time Off
Time off of work helps you recharge and stay motivated, which is why we believe in offering employees the flexibility of Paid Time Off (PTO) for vacations, personal leave or illnesses.
Holidays
Eligible employees receive 6 paid holidays each year, giving you the flexibility to use your PTO for personal uses rather than for holidays. If a holiday falls on a Saturday, we close on Friday. If it falls on a Sunday, we close on Monday.
Leave of Absence
(Family Medical Leave, Jury Duty, Military)
In the course of employment, there may be times you need to be excused from work for medical reasons, jury duty or military commitments. We respect and honor those responsibilities and offer job protection to eligible employees when those situations arise.
Health Insurance
Our commitment is to you, your health and your family. Tidewater provides eligible employees and their family members with cost effective health benefits that offer the option of an HMO or PPO plan with a percentage of the premium paid for by us. As a part of the health insurance plan, coverage for vision services is provided.
