BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES
The Town of Winter Park offers a competitive and comprehensive benefits package designed to support your health, financial security, and overall well-being. For medical, dental, and vision coverage, the Town covers 90% of the premium for employee-only coverage, with employees contributing just 10%, which comes to $52.49 per paycheck in 2025. For coverage that includes a spouse and/or dependents, the Town pays 75% of the premium, and employees contribute 25%. The Town's Cigna medical plan includes a low $1,000 in-network annual deductible, helping employees access care affordably while minimizing out-of-pocket costs.
Retirement benefits are robust: the Town is exempt from Social Security and instead offers a 401(a) plan through Mission Square Retirement, where both the Town and employee contribute 7.65% of pay pre-tax, totaling 15.3% annually toward retirement savings. Employees may also participate in an optional 457 deferred compensation plan, with a Town match up to 4% of salary. Employees who contribute the full matchable amounts to both plans receive a total of 23.3% of their salary in retirement contributions when including Town matches, with the option to save even more.
The Town also offers generous paid time off, with 144 hours (18 days) accrued in your first year and 11 paid holidays annually. Employees receive a $50,000 life insurance policy at no cost, with the option to purchase additional voluntary life insurance for themselves and eligible dependents. Other benefits include employer-paid short-term disability insurance, flexible spending accounts, a $500 wellness bonus, and access to a comprehensive employee assistance program with up to six free counseling sessions annually. Town staff enjoy access to shared Grand Passes, which offer skiing and activity access at Winter Park Resort and other local attractions, as well as monthly employee events that foster connection and community.
