Bereavement Leave

Employees are allowed three days off with pay due to the death of a member of their immediate family or the family of a domestic partner. If an employee has to travel 500 miles one-way as a result of the death, they are permitted an additional two days of bereavement leave.

Benefit Choices

County-paid Harbor-trainees participate in the Choices benefits plan. As a Choices participant, you get a monthly benefits allowance. The amount you receive is based on the number of dependents you choose to enroll for coverage. You use this monthly allowance to go “shopping” for the benefits you need. If you have any allowance left over after you go benefits shopping, this leftover allowance will be added to your paycheck as taxable pay. Click here to visit the Choices website.

Please visit the GME offices Benefit Choices page for additional information and instructions regarding your benefit choices plan.
