Employee Benefits

The City of North Miami Beach benefits program provides employees with a variety of benefits to help protect their health and finances today and in the future.  We recognize that our employees are one of our most valuable assets, which is why we provide a comprehensive benefit package providing health and financial protections throughout an employee’s career and on into retirement.

NMB Employee Benefits Guide

Paid Leave

Employees receive 15 paid holidays (13 holidays and 2 floating holidays), and a paid birthday per year. Vacation, sick leave, and holiday provisions are determined by collective bargaining for positions covered by bargaining unit agreements and established by City Policy for non-union employees.

Paid Parental Leave

Employees meeting all conditions required by the paid parental leave policy, including notice certification requirements, shall be entitled to paid parental leave.

Retirement

Depending on the position an employee may participate in a defined benefit retirement plan (pension plan) or  a defined contribution plan (401A).

Insurance Coverage

The city provides health and life insurance coverage to all of its full-time employees. The city pays for a portion of the insurance coverage selected for the employee. Dependent coverage may be purchased for the spouse and/or dependent children. Life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance is provided for each full-time employee with coverage valued at the employee’s annual rate of pay. Other supplementary insurance policies for dental, vision, cancer, and long-term care are offered at a low-cost to the employee.

Two types of flexible spending accounts are available to employees providing a method to use pre-tax earnings to pay for health and child care expenditures.

(1) Health Care Account

Allows you to pay for health care expenses for yourself and your family which are not covered by health insurance including dental, vision, orthodontia, etc. (and even those deductibles or "co-pays" which are the patient’s responsibility) with pre-tax earnings.

(2) Child Care Account
