Long Term Benefits
Salary Continuation Plan/Short Term Disability
The City provides Short-term Disability coverage for illness or injury that is not job related, available for up to 6 months. Employees are eligible for this coverage upon successful completion of the new hire probationary period.
Regular, full-time employees are eligible for salary continuance after they have been out of work for a non-work related illness or injury (as defined by the plan) for more than 10 consecutive days. Benefits are equal to 2/3 (66.66%) of their weekly pay. Medical documentation is required and the employee will be placed on Family/Medical Leave (per FMLA) in addition to the salary continuation plan.
Long-Term Disability
Long-term Disability insurance coverage is provided to regular full-time employees on their date of hire. It is provided to employees to ensure that if they become disabled (as defined by the plan) and are unable to work as a result of an accident or illness while employed by the City, that the employee will have an income while they are recuperating or if they are permanently disabled according to the plan. The income protection benefit is paid in full for the employee by the City.
Long-term Disability may begin 6 months after the disability occurs and may be payable until you are age 65 (employee must use Short-term Disability first). This is subject to periodic review by the insurance company.
Employees may receive 2/3 (66.66%) of their pay up to a maximum of $4,000 a month for a covered disability as defined by the plan.
