​​Hybrid Work Schedules + Paid Time Off

FHLBank Boston enables employees to split their work time between the office and remotely and to allow for more flexibility with work schedules. Employees must work in office two days a week and can work remotely the other three days. 

Employees start with 15 days of paid vacation each year, which is earned on an accrual basis. Additional vacation time is accrued based on length of service. We also offer our employees: 

  • Two paid personal days off each year,
  • Up to two paid days off each year to volunteer,
  • 11 paid holidays, and
  • 10 days of sick time, which can be used for personal needs or family needs, up to a certain limit.

Employees are also provided paid leave benefits under the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (“PFML”) Act if employees are unable to work for certain reasons.
