Taos offers competitive base salaries to all of our staff and more!
- Extra Pay
Used to working extra hours, but only getting paid for 40? Not at Taos! Just because you're in an exempt position doesn't mean you can't get paid extra for extra time. Our extra pay plan compensates salaried consultants at a premium rate of 113% of base salary for every billable hour over 80 in a two-week pay period.
- Pay for Taos Projects
You can also earn extra pay by participating in Practice Community Projects such as conducting technical interviews, creating best practices, mentoring junior members of your practice, or creating and delivering trainings or technical talks.
Even if you come and go from Taos, your total time with us will accrue from where you left off. And your vacation time will increase with your tenure at Taos.
Year 0 to Year 1 = 10 Days
Year 1 to Year 2 = 11 Days
Year 2 to Year 3 = 12 Days
Year 3 to Year 4 = 15 Days
After 4 years with Taos you will accrue an additional day per year up to 25 days maximum!
- Holiday
- Planning a Trip?
- Sick
You get paid for any holiday your client observes while you are on assignment up to 10 paid holidays a year.
Through our TravelConnect program, a global network of professionals is available to provide a full range of 24-hour emergency services when you are traveling more than 100 miles away from home for either business or pleasure. A few examples include medical consultation by a Western-trained and/or English speaking physician, hospital admission guarantee and legal and lost luggage assistance.
You can take up to 7 paid sick days a year.
