All of these coverages start on the first of the month after 30 days of employment with the City of Sterling.
SHORT-TERM DISABILITY
This coverage commences the first day of the month following 6 months of full employment with the City of Sterling. Premiums paid by the City, as such benefits are taxable.
This insurance is available for employees that suffer an illness, injury, or other physical impairment not associated with their employment that requires the employee, for personal medical reasons associated with that event, to be absent for a period of time in excess of eighty working hours (120 hours for designated fire personnel). Paid Time Off may cover this 80- or 120-hour waiting or elimination period for the employee. Short-Term Disability or STD is available for 56 working days or 448 hours whichever applies to the employee. This will occur in a calendar period of 90 days. The amount paid to employees on STD is 70% of the pre-disability rate of pay during the duration of the STD subject to maximum amounts. Employees must meet eligibility requirements on a continuing basis. Earnings are taxable.
LONG-TERM DISABILITY
Long-Term Disability or LTD is available for any employee the first day of the month following 6 months of full of employment with the City of Sterling. The LTD pays 60% of pre-disability earnings subject to a maximum. It becomes effective after the completion of Short-Term Disability. The LTD is 24-hour coverage. Eligibility requirements must be met for LTD and are similar to the STD requirements. Earnings are taxable.
PAID TIME OFF
Regular employees who work at least 20 hours per week earn Paid Time Off (PTO). Paid Time Off may be used for vacations, illness, off the job injury, medical/dental appointments, personal business, child care problems, pregnancies, for care of immediate family members, funerals, travel time for funerals, or for any other valid absence as determined by the Department Head or his/her designee.
PTO commences to be accrued at the start of employment. After six months on the job, PTO may be utilized for unscheduled activities such as injury, illness or family emergency. This is referred to as Unscheduled PTO. After twelve months of employment, employees may use Scheduled PTO. This process is used for vacations, scheduled appointments, and personal business and like matters.
PTO is earned on a graduated accrual basis determined by the length of time an employee has been with the City on a continuing basis. There are maximum amounts of accrual dependent on the number of hours an employee works per week.
RETIREMENT
All non-sworn employees of the City of Sterling are covered under the Federal FICA program. This withholds 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare. The City matches that contribution. In addition, regular employees working 40 hours or more per week and employed over a year by the City are eligible to receive a supplemental retirement benefit upon reaching the age of 59 ½. This plan is arranged and funded by the City of Sterling with no contribution from covered employees. The covered employee directs the investment of the funds. The plan is portable and is fully vested to the employee immediately. Upon separation from the City, the funds become the property of the employee. This plan is not available to part-time or seasonal employees.
Retirement for classified or sworn employees is covered under the Fire and Police Pension Association and governed by the board of that association under statutes established by State of Colorado. The employee’s contribution is 10% (increasing 1/2% through 2022 when employee’s contribution will be 12%) and the City make a matching 8% contribution of the base rate of pay. The City and the employee also make a matching contribution of 1.45% for Medicare purposes.
WORKER’S COMPENSATION
As required by Colorado State Statute, the City provides Workers’ Compensation Insurance coverage to pay for medical and compensation benefits for employees injured on the job. To assist in case management, the City utilizes a designated provider system in conjunction with the Sterling Regional MedCenter. This program helps monitor the progress of injured employees on the road to recovery and a quicker return to employment.
