Benefits, Work-Life Balance
PotlatchDeltic offers a comprehensive benefits program to help protect and sustain the diverse health and financial needs of our employees and their families. We meet with our employees annually to introduce and describe changes to our benefit offerings. This is a valuable way for our employees to ask questions and get assistance about their enrollment elections.

Plans offer comprehensive medical and prescription drug coverage and provide free annual preventive health screenings. We offer two quality medical and prescription drug plans, one that includes an employer funded health savings account. Full-time union employees are offered a plan with a health reimbursement account. In addition to the health reimbursement and health savings accounts offered with our medical plans, employees may enroll in healthcare and dependent care flexible spending accounts administered by a single provider, to make it easy for our employees to initiate reimbursements and track available balances.

Employees may also work a compressed schedule working 40 hours per week in less than 5 days or opt for a 9/80 schedule where they work nine-hour workdays and receive one full day off every other week. Telework can be requested for up to 3 days per week or exclusively at a remote location temporarily. Some part-time positions are offered at our wood products facilities.
