IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, THE COUNTY WILL PROVIDE REASONABLE ACCOMMODATIONS TO QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES AND ENCOURAGES BOTH PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEES AND INCUMBENTS TO DISCUSS POTENTIAL ACCOMMODATIONS WITH THE EMPLOYER.

 
OUTAGAMIE COUNTY OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE AND HIGHLY COMPETITIVE BENEFITS PACKAGE TO ITS EMPLOYEES.

LEVELS OF BENEFITS CAN VARY BASED ON EMPLOYMENT STATUS AND EMPLOYEE GROUP.
 
Medical Coverage 
Outagamie County currently offers eligible employees a Low-Deductible Health Plan and a High Deductible Health Plan with a Health Savings Account (HSA).  Each of these plans are available for single or family coverage at affordable rates.

Dental Coverage 
Eligible employees may choose either single, limited family, or family coverage. 
 
Vision Coverage 
Outagamie County offers single, employee plus one, employee plus children, and family voluntary vision insurance for those that are benefit eligible.  Vision insurance coverage provides an opportunity for employees to save money on routine vision exams, contacts, eyeglass frames, and lenses.

Life Insurance 
Outagamie County provides group life insurance for full-time employees. The cost of this coverage is paid for in full by the County.

Voluntary Short-Term Disability Insurance 
Short-Term Disability pays the employee a portion of his or her income for a specified period of time, as determined by the plan.  The Short-Term Disability plan provides coverage for injuries and illnesses that occur outside of work.  The premium for this coverage is paid entirely by the employee and is available to active employees that meet the hours threshold requirements. 
 
Long-Term Disability Insurance 
All regular, non-union full-time employees are eligible for long-term disability coverage.  Premiums are fully paid by the County. 
 
Wisconsin Retirement System
Wisconsin Retirement Program helps provide for financial security during retirement. Monthly annuity payments at retirement are calculated using years of creditable service, average earnings (based on three highest years of earnings), formula factors, age at retirement and selected annuity option.
The retirement plan consists of two parts:  an employee-required portion and an employer-required portion.  Outagamie County pays the employer portion, and employees are responsible for paying the employee-required portion, which is determined by the state each year.  Enrollment is required for eligible employees.  Eligibility is determined based on Wisconsin Retirement System plan rules.

Flexible Spending Account Plan 
The Flexible Spending Account Plan saves money by allowing the employee to pay for certain medical related expenses and dependent care expenses on a pre-tax basis, reducing annual taxable income resulting in Federal, State, Social Security, and Medicare tax savings.  

Employee Assistance Program 
Outagamie County has an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The services offered as part of the County's plan are a benefit provided at no cost to its employees and their immediate family members to help deal with life's stresses. EAP consists of caring individuals who are certified counselors. They offer professional support and direction towards resolving problems or concerns. They can also help by referring the employee to another resource if assistance is needed beyond the EAP. 

Paid Time Off
Outagamie County offers several paid time off benefits that include: vacation, personal holidays, national holidays, sick leave, bereavement leave and military leave. 

Deferred Compensation 
Deferred Compensation allows employees to set aside pre-tax earnings toward retirement. Employees can save up to 100% of their compensation, to a maximum of $20,500 annually, or as little as $10.00 per paycheck. The amount deferred reduces year-end state and federal income tax base. All the earnings will accrue tax-deferred until such time as the assets are withdrawn, generally at retirement, termination, or other special circumstances. There is also an after-tax 457 Roth contribution option.

Employee and Family Clinic
Primary Health Services are available to employees and dependents ages 2 and up, who are covered on a county health plan.
Behavioral Health Services are available for all county employees regardless of county health coverage.
