Medical Benefits:
MEDICAL BENEFITS FOR PART-TIME EMPLOYEES -Part-time employees, the Employer will pay 50% of the
medical insurance premium as specified above for the employee only if the employee elects to pay 50% of the
premium by payroll deduction. The employee may elect to purchase medical insurance coverage for their spouse
and/or dependents at their own expense by payroll deduction.
If an eligible full-time employee elects to waive the Employer medical coverage as provided and the related
insurance companies involved allow for such practice, the employee shall be compensated Five hundred dollars
($500) as a contribution to be determined as either a cash payment or a contribution to a HRA/VEBA account per
month through the payroll process as a cost savings incentive. This cost savings incentive is only payable for those
full months where the employee elects to waive coverage. Employees who participate may not be eligible to return
to medical coverage until open enrollment periods as outlined by the insurance carrier. An eligible employee, for
purposes of this paragraph, means a full-time employee.
Enrollment and eligibility for the Medical Incentive Program is subject to the total program max limit set at 12
participants city wide for the AWC sponsored health plans for 2019. Each year thereafter the City will determine
the total program max limit and adjust appropriately.
Employees currently in the program will continue to remain unless they opt out. In the event, in an open enrollment
period, the number of potential enrollees exceeds the available capacity, there will be a loffery for the available
spots. Participants will not be unenrolled from their medical plan for the Medical Cost Savings until the City has
verified that the employee is eligible to participate in the Medical [ncentive Cost Savings program.
