Time Out for Prevention

To ensure you have the time you need to take advantage of your preventive care benefits, we continue to offer Time Out for Prevention. Each year, teammates who are on one of the LiveWELL Health Plans receive two hours of paid time off to use at any time during the year for completing routine, preventive care. Before using Time Out for Prevention be sure to discuss it with your leader and provide enough notice to ensure the appropriate staffing and the time-keeping code is recorded during your time away from work.
