Vision Coverage

A low cost voluntary vision package is offered through United Healthcare to all benefit eligible employees. Premiums are based on four (4) tier levels of coverage; Employee, Employee+Spouse, Employee+Child(ren), Employee+Family and are paid via payroll deduction.

Life Insurance

The district provides life insurance to all benefit eligible employees who complete their benefits enrollment, equal to one (1) times their annual salary or $20,000 whichever is greater. Additional life insurance may be purchased for the employee, spouse and dependent children under the age of 26 and paid via payroll deduction. Evidence of Insurability (EOi) may be required. Coverage is offered through SunLife Financial.

Short Term Disability

As a district employee working more than twenty (20) hours per week, you are required to register as a member with Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS). ASRS is a Defined Benefit Plan and will provide lifelong monthly benefits upon retirement. Your contributions are mandatory and are made on a pre-tax basis via payroll deduction. This process reduces your taxable income and creates valuable retirement savings. Currently the contribution rate is 12.29%. The district will also match this contribution amount on your behalf.
