CITY OF KENOSHA SUMMARY OF BENEFITS
For Nonrepresented Regular Part-Time and Temporary Employees
Excludes Crossing Guards and Library employees.
Regular part-time and temporary employees are covered under the Rules & Regulations of the City of Kenoshas Civil Service System as non-represented employees. Regular part-time employees may be eligible for benefits based upon hours worked per year. Not all employees will be eligible for the benefits listed below. Wages and benefits provided by the Library may be different than those listed below. Please contact the Kenosha Public Library with questions.
Wages
The wage range for each City job classification is set by a compensation plan approved by the City of Kenosha. The wage rates for some nonrepresented part-time positions are divided into steps; others may only have one set rate of pay. If applicable, employees normally start at the first step (Step 1/A). Subsequent step increases, if any, are typically awarded at one (1) year intervals and are based upon minimum achievement of a satisfactory evaluation.
Part-time and temporary employees are paid an hourly wage based on their classification.
Library personnel are paid based on a wage schedule set and approved by the Library Board. Please refer to the current Personnel Policies and Regulations of the Library for more information.
Direct Deposit
Payroll is made by direct deposit for all employees. Employees must designate a checking or savings account (of their choice) at the time of hire. Salaried employees are paid on the 15th and last day of each month. Hourly employees are paid weekly on Fridays for the hours worked in the previous work week (Sunday - Saturday).
Pension
Employees who meet Department of Employee Trust Funds (ETF) eligibility requirements are enrolled in the Wisconsin Retirement System (WRS) and are required to contribute one-half of the yearly pension contribution percentage as determined by WRS. The City contributes the other half of the total required amount into the employees retirement account. The current contribution rate for non-represented (general) employees is 14.4%. The total contribution is calculated based on gross wages paid to the employee for each pay period.
Life Insurance
Term group life insurance coverage is provided to employees who participate in the WRS through the Wisconsin Public Employers Group Life Insurance Program. Coverage amount is based on annual salary rounded to the next highest $1,000. The premium for Basic Plan coverage is paid by the City for active employees. Additional coverage and/or supplemental levels of coverage are available to employees at their own expense. Coverage becomes effective on the first of the month following thirty (30) days from the date of hire.
FICA Alternative
Those employees not expected to meet the hours requirement set by the WRS to qualify for the pension program are required to participate in a FICA Alternative Program. Your earnings from this job may not be covered under Social Security. When you retire, or if you become disabled, you may receive a pension based on earnings from this job. If you do, and you are also entitled to a benefit from Social Security based on either your own work or the work of your husband or wife, or former husband or wife, your pension may affect the amount of the Social Security benefit you receive. Your Medicare benefits, however, will not be affected. The Social Security Administration Form 1945 explains the potential effects of two provisions in the Social Security law for workers who also receive a pension based on their work in a job not covered by Social Security.
