NYC Public Schools (NYCPS) offers a competitive suite of benefits to full-time employees. These benefits include comprehensive insurance packages (including medical, dental, vision, and prescription coverage), enrollment in a pension plan, and discounts at a range of stores, events, fitness centers, and more. You are eligible for these benefits through the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) once you are hired at a school and begin teaching full-time.
You can visit the NYCPS and UFT webpages for additional information about benefits available for full-time teachers. Note that once you begin teaching full-time, you will need to enroll as a union member in order to begin accessing these benefits.
