Flexible Benefit Plan
This program will be administered by Discovery Benefits, and
allows you to pay your medical, dental and vision insurance
premiums with pretax dollars. Dependent day care and certain
unreimbursed medical expenses can be paid with your pre-taxed
dollars and may be renewed on an annual basis. This lowers the
amount of your taxable income. Therefore, the amount of money you
take home is more.
Legal Benefit Plan
This plan is administered by Hyatt Legal Services
and provides a variety of legal services for the low cost of $18.50
per month. The plan includes but is not limited to: legal
consultations by telephone, Consumer Matters, Wills & Estate
Planning, Financial Matters, Family Law and Criminal Defense.
Life Insurance - Cigna
Provided at no cost to the employee with a two times the
employee's annual base salary benefit. Dependent coverage may be
added for a cost of $2.70/mo. providing $10,000 of coverage on a
spouse and $5,000 on eligible dependent children. Supplemental life
insurance is also available for the employee, spouse and children
with variable rates based on salary, the employee's age and/or the
amount of coverage selected.
Long-term Disability Insurance
This insurance provides income in the event a disability occurs,
whether on or off the job. You must be unable to perform the
material duties of your occupation due to a disease or injury.
Based on the employee's age when the disability commences, he/she
may be eligible to receive benefits to age 65 or beyond.
Employees are eligible to accrue the disability benefits after they
have been disabled 90 days.
The benefits previously discussed are effective on the
first of the month following 30 calendar days of full-time
employment. (A detailed benefit orientation will be
conducted for new employees the 1st and 16th of each month on the
3rd floor of City Hall. Initial benefit enrollment and changes may
be made on our new online system.)
Retirement Plan
Employees defer 4% on a pre-tax basis and direct those funds
into a retirement account. Full-time employees will begin
participation in the plan on the first day of the month following
their first day of employment. The City of Tulsa's
contribution to the retirement fund equals 6.3% of your
earnings. This defined benefit plan is managed by a seven
member Board of Trustees who decides how the assets are invested.
Employees are eligible to retire at age 65. However, there are
provisions for taking early retirement. The Rule of Eighty
eliminates the age requirement and provides retirement income when
continuous service and age equal 80.
Deferred Compensation Plan
To help supplement your retirement income, this voluntary plan
permits you to defer a minimum of $10 per pay period (depending on
plan) of your pre-tax salary. The City of Tulsa will deposit an
additional $.50 for every dollar of employee contribution up to a
maximum of $25 per month during the first two years of initial
participation in the plan. Your contributions may be directed into
a variety of investment options. Employees may begin participation
in the plan immediately.The City of Tulsa has contracted with
Fidelity Investments to administer the Deferred Compensation
Plan.
