Financial Benefits
Attendance Pay
This plan provides an incentive for each full-time employee to
keep sick leave at a minimum. Employees may be paid a cash award
each December based upon their sick leave usage during the previous
fiscal year (October 1 through September 30). To be eligible,
an employee must complete the full twelve months of the previous
fiscal year in a regular budgeted position.
Retirement
All full-time employees who are not an active member of any other
public pension fund or system are required to join the Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS). Beginning with the first pay period
of employment, each City of Hurst member of TMRS will deposit
(by payroll deduction) into TMRS seven (7%) percent of his/her
gross pay. The City will match the deposit in the system in an
amount double to the amount deposited by the employee.
Social Security
City employees are covered by Social Security. Deposits are made
by both the City and the employee.
Deferred Compensation
Full-time employees may voluntarily participate in a Deferred
Compensation Program, which makes it possible to defer income
and taxes on the deferred salary amount.
Credit Union
City of Hurst employees and their family members are eligible
to join Educational Employees Credit Union.
FlexComp
FlexComp allows employees to pay some benefit costs, such as
qualifying health related and/or dependent/child care expenses
with tax-free money. This benefit is available to full-time employees
on January 1, following six months of service.
Service Awards
The City is proud to recognize the service of its employees.
Special recognition is presented on every five year anniversary
beginning with the employee's fifth anniversary.
Educational Tuition Reimbursement
Full-time employees who have completed six months of service
may take qualified job-related courses and receive tuition reimbursement
based upon his/her grades in the courses. Reimbursement per semester
is limited to a rate not to exceed the basic tuition of six (6)
semester hours at local, state, or county academically accredited
college.
