City of ConcordHuman Resources DepartmentBenefits SummaryPermanent Part-Time Employees Permanent Part-Time Employees are eligible for the following benefits: Income Protection Plan The Income Protection Plan is provided at no cost and includes a pro-rated sick leave program, Short-Term Disability Insurance, and Long-Term Disability Insurance. Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) FSAs can be set up for Health or Dental Care expenses and/or Dependent Care expenses, allowing an employee to set aside a predetermined amount of money on a pre-tax basis and be reimbursed for eligible expenses under the IRS code. Annual (Vacation) Leave Permanent Part-Time Employees accrue leave on a pro-rated basis. Annual leave cannot be used during an employee's first six months of employment. The Personnel Rules & Regulations, departmental approval procedures, and/or any applicable collective bargaining agreement should be referred to for details. Paid Holidays Permanent Part-Time Employees are compensated 4 hours of holiday pay (half the compensation of a full-time employee) on City observed holidays. Subject to the terms of applicable collective bargaining agreements and/or the Personnel Rules and Regulations, employees generally observe 12.5 paid holidays each year. NH Paid Family & Medical Leave (NH PFML) Provides a 60% wage replacement (up to the social security wage cap) for up to six weeks per year (after an initial 7-day elimination period) for absences from work for covered common life events such as:
- An employee's own serious health condition when disability coverage does not apply
