FDIC: Employee Benefits Programs

FDIC Benefits Overview

The FDIC offers you and your eligible dependents a wide range of benefits programs based on the nature of your appointment. To ensure that you are provided the appropriate benefits information and required forms, please refer to the Official Employment Offer letter you received from your Human Resources Specialist to identify the appointment under which you have been selected for. If you need assistance in identifying your hiring appointment, please contact the Human Resources Specialist listed in your Official Employment Offer or the Career Management Program at CMPHQ@fdic.gov. In addition to your appointment-specific benefits, the FDIC offers flexible work-life balance programs and professional development services. Please print the completed forms and bring them with you to your first day with the FDIC.

Guidelines for Pay, Annual Leave, and Sick Leave

Pay and Pay Periods

The FDIC’s compensation table and pay setting practices can be found by visiting “Employee Benefits”. If you have been offered a position at the FDIC, your annual salary is included in your official offer letter. The USDA’s National Finance Center provides FDIC with payroll services. Your salary will be paid by direct deposit every two weeks (bi-weekly). Access the current year’s pay period calendar.

Annual and Sick Leave

Employees of the Federal government are entitled to both annual and sick leave. Bi-weekly accruals of annual and sick leave are based on the individual’s tenure in Federal service and employment type (full-time vs. part-time). Please refer to the chart below for more information on annual leave accrual.

Employee Type	Less than 3 years of service	3 or more years but less than 15 years of service	15 or more years of service
Full-time employees	4 hours of annual leave each pay period	6 hours of annual leave each pay period	8 hours of annual leave each pay period
Part-time employees	1 hour of annual leave for every 20 hours worked in a pay period	1 hour of annual leave for every 13 hours worked in a pay period	1 hour of annual leave for every 10 hours worked in a pay period
