Summary of Results • Group Benefits • Retirement Benefits • Holidays and Vacation • Perquisites • Other Work Arrangements & Incentives • Conclusions
Group Benefits Only about 40% of organizations offer a flex spending account and it’s only about $430 where offered AD&D is nearly always provided – missing at City of Edmonton When looking individually, Supplementary Health and Dental benefits seem behind but when the $1,100 flex spending account is factored in, City of Edmonton looks OK
Retirement Benefits City offers a defined benefit pension plan that is well aligned with prevalent practice Employee premiums are slightly higher at the City of Edmonton than prevalent in the market reviewed but not significantly
Holidays and Vacation Vacation days provided to City of Edmonton executives (ML4 and higher) is ahead of public sector market , Vacation days provided to lower levels are behind prevalent practice – takes noticeably longer to reach higher numbers of weeks.
Perquisites Few perquisites are offered in the public sector
Other Work Arrangements & Incentives Few public sector organizations offer flex time arrangements. City offers EDOs Slightly less than half the survey organizations offer Short Term Incentives (annual bonus plans)
Conclusions Prevalent practice in the public sector is to offer better benefit coverage (less employee premiums, better provisions, etc) but not a flex spending account Basic Accidental Death and Dismemberment is nearly always provided Vacation provisions seem behind market practice
Areas to Explore • Educate and gather feedback from CEMA members • Partner with HR • Review value for premiums • SMT thoughts
