Flexible Spending Accounts:
One of the best ways to reduce your out-of-pocket expenses is to take advantage of the City's
Flexible Spending Account (FSA) program administered through Ceridian. This plan allows you
to pay for qualifying health and dependent care expenses with pre-tax dollars. There are two
types of plans available:
Health Care - This plan allows you to pay up to $5,000 per year in health care expenses that are
not covered by insurance for you and your dependents with tax-free dollars.
Dependent Care - This plan allows you to pay up to $5,000 per year with tax-free dollars to
daycare providers who care for your children or incapacitated adults so you can work.
These accounts allow you to pay for planned expenses with pre-tax dollars, which lowers your
taxable income. For example, if you earn $40,000 and put $5,000 into an FSA, you will reduce
the income you pay taxes on to $35,000.
Short and Long Term Disability:
The City contracts with Standard Insurance to provide an integrated short and long term disability
plan. This plan has a 30-day waiting period and a benefit of 66 2/3% of your regular monthly pay.
Annual Leave:
Annual leave is a bank of time used to be paid for time off due to holidays, vacation and sick
time.
