City of Benicia benefits

The current City benefits page links Kaiser active-employee rates for FY2026-2027 (July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027) for BFA, BDA, BSPA, BPSEA, BPOA, unrepresented managers and elected officials. Four Kaiser options; the City continues medical plans. Plan choice, bargaining unit, employee class and eligibility vary, and the seasonal part-time posting expressly provides no insurance benefits

An Ameritas dental plan for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with the City contribution and employee cost shown as $0 for the listed coverage tiers. The current unrepresented-management agreement continues dental plans; bargaining-unit and employee-class terms vary, and the expired 2024-2026 benefit summaries are not used to universalize coverage

Vision Service Plan (VSP) coverage for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and shows a $22.01 monthly City contribution per employee. The current unrepresented-management agreement continues vision plans

The City Section 125 tax-savings arrangement and flexible spending accounts for medical reimbursements and dependent care. This is current evidence for the covered unrepresented-management class, not a universal entitlement for every City employee or the seasonal part-time role

Kaiser Option 3 HDHP includes a City contribution into an HSA up to the annual maximum allowed by law. The sheet applies to the listed bargaining groups, unrepresented managers and elected officials; no universal HSA amount or seasonal part-time eligibility is inferred

An Employee Assistance Program and WorkLife Services with current monthly program fees. The public rate sheet does not provide a complete employee-class eligibility matrix, so this is retained as a current City program with scope caveats

City-paid life insurance for regular full-time or equivalent reduced-hours employees, with $30,000 for Mid Managers and $100,000 for Senior Managers. The linked FY2026-2027 rate sheet's Life/AD&D panel still carries a July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2026 header despite a July 22, 2026 update, so no new FY2026-2027 rate term is inferred from that panel

Accidental death and dismemberment coverage with the basic life-insurance policy for regular full-time or equivalent reduced-hours employees. The FY2026-2027 linked rate sheet retains an older Life/AD&D header after its July 22, 2026 update; employee-class and policy terms control

Five paid bereavement days for an immediate-family death plus the five unpaid statutory days, with the paid leave running concurrently with the statutory leave. This is management-agreement scope and does not establish identical terms for every bargaining unit

Benicia participates in CalPERS for miscellaneous and safety employees and distinguishes classic and PEPRA formulas. The current unrepresented-management agreement also contains CalPERS retirement provisions; conditional PARS/CalPERS deductions

A voluntary 401a deferred-compensation program and a voluntary 457b plan; the 457b is funded through employee payroll deduction and has no City employer contribution under that agreement. This is current unrepresented-management evidence, not a generic 401(k) claim or a universal City-wide formula

The current unrepresented-management agreement requires covered employees to participate in a VantageCare retiree health savings account funded through specified annual-leave and sick-leave conversions; senior managers also contribute 2% of salary schedule rate and applicable longevity. This is a retiree health savings account for the covered management class, not the separate retiree insurance-rate sheet and not a citywide retiree-insurance promise.

Twelve authorized paid holidays. Holiday schedules and eligibility vary by employee class; two additional December-closure floating holidays are expressly limited to the 2024 and 2025 closures and are therefore not staged as a current separate benefit

A service-based vacation schedule and two personal-leave days credited each July 1 for covered employees. Accrual, carryover, approval and employee-class terms vary; no universal City-wide PTO amount is inferred

Pay

Paid

Eight hours of sick leave per pay period for most covered employees, with a different 24-hour schedule for Fire Mid Managers assigned to a 56-hour week. The seasonal part-time posting says it has no leave benefits, so the management agreement is not generalized to that role

Eleven annual administrative-leave days for Mid Managers and twenty for Senior Managers, with class-specific use and cash-conversion rules. This is not a universal entitlement for all City employees

The current unrepresented-management agreement establishes an educational reimbursement program of up to $3,000 per fiscal year for eligible job-related courses, subject to approval and stated exclusions. It is current management-agreement scope; no general City-wide or seasonal part-time eligibility is inferred
