For the purpose of illustration, the City would make the following contributions effective
upon approval of this collective bargaining agreement:
One person plan: $575.51 + $52.77 = $628.28 per month
Two person plan: $1,161.70 + $99.63 = $1,261.33 per month
Family plan: $1,553.98 + $99.63 = $1,653.61 per month
Employee shall be responsible for the balance of any premium not covered by the City’s
contributions.
Should the Union vote to have its members participate in the City offered health care
plans, the employees shall contribute the same percentage of the premiums as contributed
by a majority of City employees on those plans as well as being responsible for all co-
pays and deductibles for which the majority of City employees are responsible for under
the offered health care plans.
The health insurance through Northern New England Benefit Trust shall only be
available to current members that are enrolled in the City of Nashua health insurance
plans or employees hired after the date of ratification of this Agreement. In the event of a
spouse’s death, divorce, or a job loss resulting in a member’s loss of health insurance
coverage under that spouse’s plan, the member shall be allowed to join Northern New
England Benefit Trust.
Alligiant Care shall retain the right to modify said Plan should experience become
unmanageable.
Upon retirement, members shall be entitled to enroll in the City’s health and dental plans
so that they will receive the same benefits as other similarly situated retired City
employees.
LIFE INSURANCE
Full-time employees and other employees working a regular schedule of at least 30 hours
per week are eligible to participate in the city's group term life insurance benefit. The
benefit is equal to one and one-half times the annual basic rate of pay of each employee.
If an employee elects to participate, the City will pay 100% of the premium cost. This
benefit also provides for optional term life insurance and is 100% employee paid. The
benefit amounts are determined by the insurance carrier, and the cost of optional
coverage is determined by your age.
SHORT TERM DISABILITY COVERAGE
The City of Nashua will offer Short Term Disability coverage to all employees covered
under this CBA. Participation in this program will be completely optional and funded
entirely at the employee’s expense.
