The City of Dublin provides Medical, Dental, Vision, and Prescription benefits through an innovative health management program called Healthy by Choice (HBC). HBC is a consumer driven health care plan that includes a high deductible insurance plan and a health savings account (HSA), or a health reimbursement account (HRA) for certain individuals. Employees enrolled in the City of Dublin's medical plan will receive a contribution from the City into their HSA or HRA account based upon their respective coverage level. All employees who elect coverage through the City's medical benefits plan will be charged a medical premium, however, employees and covered spouses will have the opportunity to participate in the HBC program to waive all or partial medical premiums associated with coverage under the City's medical plan.
Additional benefits include a free Recreation Center membership which is subject to tax withholding, tuition reimbursement, longevity pay, life insurance, and an EAP program. Paid time off is offered in the form of sick leave, vacation, and personal time.
