Dental PPO, Delta Care HMO and Vision Service plans increase by less than ten

D. Long Term Disability Insurance
This program provides, for each incident of illness or injury, a waiting period of thirty (30)
calendar days, during which the employee may use accumulated sick leave, general leave
pay, or the employee may elect to be in an unpaid status. Subsequent to the thirty (30) day
waiting period, the employee will be covered by an insurance plan paid for by the City,
providing 66 2/3 (sixty six and two-third) percent of the first $12,500 (twelve thousand five
hundred) of the employee's basic monthly earnings.
The maximum benefit period for disability due to accident or sickness shall be to age sixty
five (65).
Days and months refer to calendar days and months. Benefits under the plan are integrated
with sick leave, Worker's Compensation, Social Security and other non-private program
benefits to which the employee may be entitled. Disability is defined as: "The inability to
perform all of the duties of regular occupation during two years, and thereafter the inability to
engage in any employment or occupation for which the employee is fitted by reason of
education, training or experience." Rehabilitation benefits are provided in the event the
individual, due to disability, must engage in another occupation. Survivor's benefits continue
plan payment for three (3) months beyond death. A copy of the plan is on file in the Human
Resources Department.
The intent of long term disability is to assist employees who are-off work for an extended
period of time. While long term disability benefits can be coordinated with accrued leave
benefits to achieve one hundred percent (100%) of regular salary, no employee may receive
more than their regular salary while receiving disability benefits and paid leave.
E. Miscellaneous
1. City-Paid Premiums While on Medical Disability
When an employee is off work without pay for reason of medical disability, the City shall
