Benefits Plan Year – January 1, 2025 thru December 31, 2025

The value of your total annual compensation includes your pay plus the cost of City provided benefits.

Full-Time Employees are eligible to participate in the city’s insurance plans. Coverage will be effective the first of the month following date of hire. For example, if employee is hired on April 11, then effective date of coverage will be May 1. If the new employee’s hire date falls on the first day of the month, their health insurance coverage will be effective starting that same day. If the first day of the month is a holiday, the effective date of coverage remains the same; it will begin on the first day of the month, regardless of the holiday.
