Life Insurance

Life insurance (paid for by the City) is available to full- and part-time regular employees. Employees are insured for twice their annual salary, rounded to the next $1,000 multiple. Bonuses, overtime, and other compensation are not considered as basic wages or salary for life insurance purposes.

Additional Life Insurance

Full- and part-time regular employees may apply for additional life insurance within the first 30 days of employment or thereafter during any Open Season.

Dependent Life Insurance

Full- and part-time regular employees may apply for life insurance for their spouse and eligible children.

Long-Term Disability Insurance

The City provides long-term disability insurance in the amount of 60% of the employee's base salary at no cost to full- and part-time regular employees scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week. This coverage may extend to age 65, or as long as total disability exists.

Long-Term Care Insurance

The City provides the option to purchase long-term care insurance to employees who require regular assistance with day-to-day functions like bathing, eating, or dressing or supervision due to cognitive impairment. Long-term care insurance helps pay for care at home, in an adult day care center, assisted living facility, nursing home, or hospice.
