2020 Health Insurance Recommendations - On behalf of the Employee Health Insurance Committee (EHIC), the Office of Human Resources (OHR) respectfully requests the approval of two recommended changes to City and County of Denver benefit structure and Denver Revised Municipal code as follows:
Annual Wellness Incentive - to maintain the following wellness incentive structure as was introduced in 2019.
1. For eligible DHMO civilian and sheriff participants who complete the established requirements of the wellness program administered by the Office of Human Resources prior to the program deadline of November 30, of each year, the City will provide a $50 per month premium reduction the following year.
2. For eligible HDHP civilian and sheriff participants who complete the established requirements of the wellness program, administered by the Office of Human Resources, prior to the program deadline of November 30, of each year, the City will provide an annual contribution of $600 the following year
Life Insurance - Increase the City-paid basic, term-life insurance benefit for eligible employees and appointed charter officers for a policy in the amount of two (2) times the employee's annual salary up to a maximum benefit of four hundred thousand dollars ($400,000.00). The current benefit maximum is $100,000.
Bereavement Leave - The Office of Human Resources requests that City Council update the definition of immediate family for purposes of Chapter 18, Article V, Division 1, to both reflect the composition of an immediate family in today’s society and to make the definition gender neutral.
