Benefits Summary
BENEFLEX PROGRAM SUMMARY (Effective July 1, 2023)
Employee compensation consists of two parts - direct wages and benefits. The City of Concord provides a "flexible benefit plan" or "cafeteria benefit plan" known as "BENEFLEX". This plan offers a range of benefit choices in the areas of: Health Plans, a Dental Plan, Life Insurance, a Medical Flexible Spending Account, a Dependent Care Reimbursement Account as well as Accident/Sickness (Disability) Plans.
The City provides each full-time employee with benefit dollars, subject to annual City Council appropriation, for use in purchasing both medical and dental benefits, based on Federal eligibility guidelines. The exception to the Federal eligibility guideline falls under Healthcare Reform's Affordable Care Act with regard to adult dependent children between the ages of 19-26. The Affordable Care Act requires employers offering dependent coverage to cover adult children between the ages of 19-26, regardless of student status. Selection of additional benefits, such as a medical plan with a more expensive premium, flexible spending accounts or increased life insurance, may be paid for through payroll deduction on a pre-tax basis. If there is money left over from an employee's benefit dollars after benefit selection, it is treated as taxable income. Benefits take effect on the first of the month following 30 days of employment. An orientation/enrollment session with a full explanation of the Beneflex plan and its options is held once each month for new employees.
Because of the tax implications, this type of a benefit program is governed by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Service Code. The Beneflex "Plan Year" is July 1 through June 30. After initial new employee enrollment, changes in benefit selections are only allowed during the group re-opening period just prior to each plan year, within 30 days of a birth, adoption, death, marriage, divorce, a change in the employment status of the employee or employee's spouse or within 60 days of a loss of Medicaid coverage or loss of coverage under the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
Wellness Program
The City of Concord continuously strives to offer comprehensive, responsive, and flexible health benefit plans and programs. All full-time employees and City-insured spouses are eligible to participate in the City's Wellness Program.
In partnership with its insurers, the City of Concord is pleased to offer employees a unique opportunity to improve their overall health and create a healthier lifestyle. The City provides dollars ("wellpoints"), which can be used to offset the employee share of health insurance premiums. Wellpoints are earned for your participation in:
Wellpoints earned the previous Wellness year (May through April) will be awarded during the City's open enrollment period, typically held during the month of May. If an employee does not need the additional wellpoints to purchase medical insurance, they may be used for other aspects of the Beneflex program.
Research has clearly shown that promoting health and fitness at the workplace and at home helps employees reduce the rate of premium increases and related health insurance costs, improve overall participant health, reduce stress levels, and become wiser health care consumers. The potential value of wellness programs to employers is just as impressive, with results such as reduced absenteeism, lower healthcare costs, improved employee morale, reduced employee turnover, better customer service, and enhanced employee recruitment. It is a win-win situation for everyone and it is fun!
