Savings & Investment Plan
Effective January 1, 2010, all newly hired trainees are automatically enrolled in the Fidelity Savings and Investment (SIP) plan by investing a three percent deduction from each paycheck.
The SIP allows you to save a percentage of your pay on a tax-deferred basis. A plan overview and “opt out” instructions will be mailed from Fidelity to the home address you provided to the GME Department.
If you are not interested in participating in the Fidelity SIP, you must contact Fidelity (no earlier than 10 days from your start date to assure you are in their database). You can do this by calling 1.888.388.2247 or by completing the “opt out” form that will be mailed to your home.
If you have questions, please call or visit Fidelity online.

Additional Benefits
Maternity/Paternity Leave
New benefits for fully paid maternity and parental leave are effective at Cleveland Clinic United States locations on April 1, 2020. Caregivers eligible for maternity leave (biological mothers) will receive 100% pay for up to 8 consecutive weeks following the birth of a child. Parental leave is for use by all parents to care for and/or bond with their newborn or newly adopted child. Caregivers eligible for parental leave (biological mother or father, or adopting parent) will receive 100% pay for up to 4 consecutive weeks following the birth or adoption of a child. Caregivers eligible for both benefits will receive up to 8 consecutive weeks of maternity leave plus up to 4 consecutive weeks of parental leave — for a total of 12 weeks with 100% pay. Trainees are urged to discuss maternity and parental leave with their program director to determine if they will need to make up time to meet board requirements.
