A new service for UT Health San Antonio employees
by Human Resources
 
As a benefit to support our employees, UT Health San Antonio has partnered with Care.com to help employees who need to find quality dependent care.
 

Responders to our dependent care survey this summer told us that finding reliable, quality dependent care that works with their schedules was one of their greatest challenges in managing work/life balance 

 

To meet this need, we will provide access to dependent care services offered bCare.com to all UT Health San Antonio benefits-eligible employees.  

 

Institutional membership includes: 

  • Unlimited virtual access to view profiles and references of background-checked dependent care providers who you may arrange to hire for your care needs (Standard employment rates apply.)  
  • Five days per year of child or adult backup care, i.e. emergency care, at subsidized rates* below: 
    • $6/hour for in-home care (4-hour minimum and 10-hour maximum) 
    • $10/day for in-center care (cost is per day per child; hours may vary depending on provider) 
  • Expert assistance to find background-checked caregivers (Standard employment rates apply. Assistance may not be available for all types of care needs.)  
  • HomePay service to manage payment and taxes for in-home care providers 

How do I use Care.com 
Starting Oct.12employees can log in to the dedicated Care.com website for UT Health San Antonio employees by using their single sign-on credentials and enroll. Employees will also need their Employee ID to set up a profile with username and password. After employees set up a unique username and passwordthey can download the Care.com app for future use.
