Compensation/Benefits/Pension

The City of Yorkton has a flexible benefits program for which coverage begins on the employee’s first day of work.  The program includes options for life insurance, long-term disability insurance, accidental death & dismemberment, and health and dental care.  When you start work, Human Resource Services will help you decide the best options for you.

All full-time permanent employees are eligible to receive full-time benefits.  Part-time and ongoing seasonal employees are eligible to receive certain benefits once they have worked a qualifying period of time and number of hours.

As a condition of employment, Full-time Out-of-Scope staff are required to participate in the Municipal Employees Pension Plan at 6.4% of their salary, which is matched by the City.  MEPP is a defined benefit pension plan administered by the Public Employees Benefits Agency.

A Health Care Spending Account (HCSA) has been established for all full-time employees working a minimum of 30 hours a week, part-time employees working a minimum of 15 hours a week, and ongoing seasonal and/or term employees employed for more than 6 months in any year.
