McKinsey

Your Care Benefit

Term: January 1st – December 31st

McKinsey and Helpr are partnering to bring you comprehensive care benefits, including up to 100 hours of subsidized care annually with a low hourly copay for in-home and backup center care.

Colleagues can secure last-minute child and adult/elder care services for eligible dependents, including your parents or step-parents, in the event your regular care is unavailable and you need to be at work.

Backup Care

100 hours

Helpr Network: $6/hour copay in service areas
Your Preferred Care Provider: Up to $12/hour toward your provider's rate; you pay the difference as copay
Center Care, Programs, & Agencies: Up to $12/hour reimbursed (for up to 5 consecutive days at a time; longer consecutive periods aren’t eligible for backup care coverage)

When the cost of your care is subsidized by your employer, the employer-paid portion is considered taxable income. Hours with Helpr Network sitters are subsidized at $46/hour and care with personal providers is subsidized up to $12/hour.

Here's an overview of the services you can book:

Your Preferred Care Provider

Add a friend, family member, or other backup care providers to the Helpr app. The provider process takes up to 1 business day. They'll be paid their full hourly rate by Helpr and the app shows your low hourly copay. Available for child and adult care. Restrictions apply. McKinsey contributes up to $12/hour.

Backup Care Centers

For backup care that requires you to pay directly, such as certain agencies or tutors, you can upload your receipt through the care center feature and receive up to $12/hour reimbursement via Helpr.

Camps or centers can be used as backup care when they help cover unexpected gaps. You can receive the $12/hour subsidy for up to one week (5 consecutive days) of camp care. Longer periods aren’t considered backup care and won’t be eligible for coverage.
