Benefits

The City works hard to offer a benefit package that allows us to recruit and retain the best employees.

Eligibility & Enrollment

Regular full‐time, extended part-time, and regular part‐time employees are eligible for the City's benefit program. Flexible part‐time/temporary/seasonal (PTS) employees do not qualify unless specifically noted.

The benefit year begins January 1 and ends December 31. New employees must elect their benefits within 30 days of hire, and most benefits are effective on the first of the month on or after the date of hire, unless noted otherwise. Current employees can make changes to benefit elections during open enrollment, which occurs in the fall of each year. Employees may also be able to make changes to benefits when a qualifying life event occurs.
