FRINGE BENEFITS
ALL FULL TIME CITY EMPLOYEES:
1. Public Employees Retirement Fund - Employees pay 3% of wages, exclusive of Fire and Police Departments.

This participation amount will be deposited directly to each employees HSA.
Smokers/Tobacco Users means employee, spouse or dependent who smoke or use any smokeless tobacco products.
All employees/family members utilizing the health insurance program will be required to submit to a urine screening upon request by Peru Board of Public Works and Safety to test for nicotine. Testing will be conducted by Patient Care Partners. Failure to comply will be considered to be a nicotine user and will pay higher rate.
Anthem Blue Cross/Blue Shield Health Insurance will be based on a 2 tier system: Single and Family. The deductibles will be $2650.00/ Single and $5250.00/ Family. The Group Health Insurance Program is Blue Access for a Health Savings Account (HSA). The Health Savings Account will be set up under each employees name. This account will be the sole responsibility of the employee. The City of Peru will contribute $1,000.00/Single, $1,500.00/Employee and One Dependent and $2,000.00/Family to each employees HSA. Employees leaving the City of Peru employment will have to repay this amount at a rate of $83.00 a month/Single, $125.00 a month/ Employee and one Dependant and $167.00 a month/Family.
As per Resolution No. 2, 1992, members of the 1937 Fire Fighters Pension Fund and 1953 Police Officers Pension Fund who have completed 25 years of continuous service, the City of Peru shall pay 100% of the premium for said Public Safety Employee. However, in no event, shall the City of Peru be obligated to pay all or any portion of the premium for dependents, spouses, or surviving spouses. Unfortunately, due to extenuating circumstances, the City of Peru can no longer afford a self funded insurance plan. Therefore, we have been forced to change to a Health Saving Account for all employees and retirees. Consequently, the public safety employee will receive the same benefit as a single employee which will entitle that public safety employee to a deposit of $1,000.00 annually to their HSA.
3. City employees who use their personal vehicles for city business shall be compensated at the rate set per Federal Government.

Police Department will also be compensated at 150% of their calculated hourly rate for each full hour exceeding eighty (80) hours.
6. All Sanitation, Motor Vehicle Highway and Traffic Department employees shall receive $300 per year Clothing Allowance; $150 to be paid on July 1st and $150 to be paid last pay in December. Employee must work 6 months before receiving full amount of Clothing Allowance benefit; less than 6 months to be pro-rated.
