U.S. Bancorp
Minneapolis, MN · founded 1863
U.S. Bancorp (which operates as U.S. Bank) is one of the largest banks in the United States, headquartered in downtown Minneapolis and tracing its charter back to 1863. It is a big, traditional, heavily regulated financial institution of roughly 70,000 people, so the experience varies enormously by division — retail branches, corporate and commercial banking, wealth management, and the Elavon payments business all feel quite different. On benefits it is unusually strong for the sector: a 100%-up-to-4% 401(k) match with immediate vesting AND a company-funded cash-balance pension, 10 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents (19 for the birthing parent), $10,000 adoption/surrogacy help, and an HSA the bank contributes to. The honest caveat is that it is a legacy bank, not a tech company — hierarchical, process-heavy, and pay/culture depend a lot on which line of business and manager you land under.

the legal floor where they are
Set by law, not by U.S. Bancorp. It applies to every employer in Minneapolis, MN.
| IVF cycles the state covers | THERE IS NO FEDERAL MANDATE. No US law requires an employer health plan to cover IVF or any infertility treatment, so coverage comes either from the insurance mandate in the state where the plan is written or from the employer's own choice. And the state mandates reach less far than they look: they bind fully insured plans bought from a state-regulated carrier, while a self-funded employer plan is governed federally under ERISA and is preempted from state insurance regulation. KFF's 2025 employer survey puts 67% of covered workers in a self-funded plan, and 80% of those at firms of 200 or more — so at the size of employer this site mostly covers, the state mandate usually does not apply, and any fertility benefit is a genuine company choice rather than a restatement of law. That is precisely why it belongs on a benefits page here. Perks has not yet read this employer's own state insurance mandate from an official source; the states that have been read carry their own entry. (No federal statute requires an employer health plan to cover infertility treatment or IVF. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) preempts state insurance regulation as applied to self-funded employer plans, which is why a state mandate does not reach them.) |
|---|---|
| Adoption leave the law gives | 12 workweeks of UNPAID job-protected leave in any 12-month period on the placement of a child for adoption or foster care, and only for employees who meet the FMLA eligibility test. There is no federal paid adoption leave. (Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. 2612(a)(1)(B) and 2612(c); eligibility at 29 U.S.C. 2611(2) and (4). Quoted from the 2023 edition of the US Code.) |
| Pay when you are ill | No federal law requires any paid sick leave. The FLSA does not require payment for time not worked, and the FMLA gives 12 workweeks of UNPAID job-protected leave in any 12-month period for a serious health condition, and only for employees who meet the FMLA eligibility test. Any paid sick time comes from a state or city law, or from the employer's own choice. (Fair Labor Standards Act, per the Department of Labor's statement on payment for time not worked; Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. 2612(a)(1)(D) and 2612(c). Quoted from the 2023 edition of the US Code on govinfo.gov.) |
