Beyond medical

More ways we've got you — and your family — covered.

Your medical plan is the headline, but it's not the whole story. These benefits protect your income, your family, and your finances when life takes an unexpected turn. Take a minute to learn what each one does — some you'll wish you'd known about sooner.

Don't overlook this one

Short-Term Disability — including paid time to welcome a baby.

If a covered medical reason keeps you from working, Short-Term Disability replaces 60% of your base pay (up to $1,500/week, for up to 12 weeks) so a health event doesn't become a financial one. And yes — pregnancy and childbirth recovery are covered.

Maternity is covered.
Pregnancy and childbirth recovery are covered conditions under our Equitable policy — welcoming a child is the most common reason team members use this benefit. Your recovery time comes with income, not anxiety.

Provided through Equitable. "Base pay" is your regular weekly base rate (it excludes commissions, bonuses, overtime, and tips). Your doctor certifies how long you're disabled, so actual paid time may be shorter than the 12-week maximum. A 12-month pre-existing-condition rule may apply if you enrolled recently — see the FAQ below, and email benefits@mybuildercares.com to confirm your situation.
