Part-Time Employee

OPERS

All Montgomery County employees contribute to/participate in the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS). Montgomery County employees do not contribute to Social Security; however, all employees do contribute to Medicare.

Retirement contribution rates are shared by employees and Montgomery County and are currently:

Employee 10%

Employer 14%

There are two retirement plans to choose from: the Traditional Pension Plan or the Member-Directed Plan. You must select your retirement plan within 180 days of beginning employment.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION

Deferred Compensation is a voluntary supplemental retirement program which provides for the deferral of a specified amount of your salary for long-term investment. Choose between two Section 457 plans: Ohio County Employees Retirement Plan Deferred Compensation Program or Ohio Public Employees Deferred Compensation Program. You choose how much to allocate to your deferred compensation account. This amount is deducted from each pay and is not subject to federal and state income tax.

WELLNESS PROGRAM

Montgomery County partners with the Montgomery County YMCA to provide a comprehensive wellness program for employees. This program provides tools to reduce health-related risks such as lowering high blood pressure, programs to help people stay healthy, and sound clinical assistance for those members living with a chronic illness.  

LIFE INSURANCE (BOARD PAID)

Life insurance provides a benefit to your beneficiaries in the event of your death. The Board provides all part-time employees $60,000 in basic life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage at no cost to the employee.

SUPPLEMENTAL LIFE INSURANCE

Employees may purchase supplemental term life insurance at low group rates and pay for the premium through payroll deduction. Coverage may be purchased for a spouse and dependent children as long as the employee purchases coverage as well.

SUPPLEMENTAL ANCILLARY COVERAGE

Employees may purchase supplemental polices such as short-term disability, accident, and critical illness policies. Premiums are paid by payroll deduction.
