by the Mayor. The Mayor shall cause the specific provisions of
the group plan offered by the City to be detailed and made
available to the employees. The City may deduct from each
payroll all monies necessary to fund employee shares of
insurance coverage and make all payments necessary to fund the
plan within budget limitations established by the City Council.
All employees eligible to participate in the group insurance
plan shall be enrolled unless waivers are executed by employees
desiring exemption, in form and manner and at such times as the
Mayor may direct.
B. Worker 's Compensation
In addition to the foregoing, the Mayor may provide for

Salt Lake City hereby adopts the provisions of the Federal
Social Security system and applies and extends all of the
benefits of the old age and survivor 's insurance of the Social
Security Act to eligible employees; provided, however, that
officers and employees .in the classified Civil Service of Salt
Lake City in the Fire and Police Departments shall be exempted
from such adoption, unless determined otherwise by the Mayor or
unless required by State or Federal Law.
B. Retirement Programs
The City hereby adopts the Utah Retirement Board System for
providing retirement pensions to eligible employees. The City
may permit or require the participation of eligible employees
in it 's retirement program(s) under terms and conditions
established by the Mayor (see Appendix C) . Such programs may
include:
1. The Utah Public Safety Retirement System
2. The Utah Fireman's Retirement System
3. The Utah State Retirement System

C. Sick Leave Pay at Retirement
At retirement an employee (or his estate, where death follows
retirement but precedes payment) shall be eligible to receive a
retirement benefit as stipulated in Salt Lake City Ordinance
No. 6 of 1989. Persons who retire under the eligibility
requirements of the Utah State Retirement Systems and are not
eligible under the above referenced Ordinance will be paid in
cash at their then current pay scale, a sum equal to their
daily rate of pay for 25 percent (25%) of the accumulated sick
leave days reserved for the benefit of said employee at the
date of his or her retirement.
Compensation Plan: Page 16
In lieu of the above, employee may elect to convert sick leave
privilege to hospital and surgical coverage. 50% of the sick
leave hours available at retirement may be converted to a
dollar allowance at the time of retirement. The sick leave
hours converted to a dollar allowance shall be subject to any
state and federal income and social security tax withholding
required by law. An employee's available dollar allowance
determines the number of months of medical and surgical
coverage which may be purchased. If insurance costs go up
due to group experience, the number of months of coverage
will decrease.
Such sick leave retirement benefit shall also be available to
executive level employees who have not retired from employment
with the City when employment has been terminated by death or
resignation (provided that in the case of death, benefits shall
be payable to the employee's survivor) occurring after the date
the employee has become eligible for full service retirement
from the City.
This provision shall not act to reinstate an employee with sick
leave benefits which were in any respect lost, used, or
forfeited prior to the effective date of this plan.

performing an activity or function defined by the Mayor or his/her
designee within a City department because of lack of work or lack
of funds, the City shall minimize layoffs by readjustment of per-
sonnel through reassignment of duty in other departments. -

off in inverse order of the length of service of employees in
the same job classification performing the same job functions
and duties.
