Retirement: The employee “pick-up” portion of PERS (Public Employees Retirement System), or OPSRP (Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan) is currently paid for by the County and is 6% of the employee’s monthly gross salary. The County also contributes the employer portion. If an employee leaves service before retirement age, only the 6% amount can be withdrawn by the employee.

Insurance: ELIGIBILITY FOR HEALTH, LIFE AND LTD INSURANCE:
On the first day following one full month (30 days) of service, full-time employees are eligible for County health, life and LTD insurance. The health insurance, which includes medical, dental, orthodontia, vision, & prescription coverage is currently provided through the self-funded Deschutes County Employee Health Plan. Coverage includes spouse and eligible dependents at a cost of $35 per month (pre-taxed) to the employee.
Regular, part-time employees who work a minimum of 20 hours per week (.50 FTE) are eligible to receive insurance coverage, at their option, on a pro-rated cost basis, or to use a higher-deductible plan option for the same employee premium cost as a full-time employee. An example for the lower deductible, pro-rated plan, an employee who works a 30-hour work week (.75 FTE) would pay the $35 per month premium co-pay plus 25% of the remaining premium total (pre-taxed), and the County would pay 75%.
See Health Insurance Plan Summary for further information on Deschutes County Employee Health Plan coverage.
LIFE INSURANCE/ACCIDENTAL DEATH & DISMEMBERMENT:
Life insurance is equal to the employee’s annual salary, rounded up to the next thousand-dollar amount not to exceed $100,000. If death is accidental, insurance amount will be doubled with a maximum of $200,000.
Spouse and dependent coverage is $5,000. (Accidental death double coverage does not apply to spouse or dependents).
LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE:
LTD coverage begins the first of the month following completion of one full month (30 days) of employment.
The policy commences 90 days after the disability occurs, and provides 66 2/3 % of monthly salary, with a maximum benefit of $3,333 per month to age 65.
NOTE: Fringe benefits may vary from those listed above subject to employment status and the various collective bargaining unit agreements.
