However, staffing approaches can have a significant influence on benefits and structure, with some part time shifts being the norm. Additionally, a higher rate of females in child bearing age means a higher demand for quality short term disability benefits as well as maternity and paternity leave benefits. Oftentimes, additional education is required and student loan assistance may be a differentiator.
