Employee Benefits The District benefits program is similar to a "cafeteria" plan. The District pays the employee-only health insurance premium for those who qualify. The District also awards each eligible employee a negotiated dollar amount to use for other benefits such as: dependent health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, life insurance, accident insurance, and/or income protection insurance. If the total cost of the employee's benefit choices is more than the available benefit dollar amount, the remaining amount will be deducted from the employee's paycheck. If the employee does not use all of the benefit dollars for insurance premiums, the employee must choose one (or more) of the available investment options in which to deposit the remaining dollars.

The District pays employee post-retirement medical for those who qualify. Employees hired after May 1, 1994, must meet a 15 year service requirement.

All employees are permitted to voluntarily contribute pre-taxed dollars from their paychecks to 403(b) plan(s). Contact the Benefits Office at (714) 808-4815 for a listing of available plans.
