In
addition to competitive wages, the Housing Authority offers an excellent benefits package. An outline of these
benefits is offered below:
Health, Dental and
Vision Insurance
Regular full-time employees and part-time employees working more than 20 hours per week have the option upon hire of selecting one of four health insurance plans. Health, vision and dental insurance coverage is effective the first of the month following the date of hire.
Currently, HAP offers medical and vision coverage through Kaiser Permanente and Providence Health Plans. Dental coverage is offered through Kaiser and MetLife. Coverage is available for employees, their families and domestic partners.
Retirement Plan/Deferred
Compensation
Employees become members of Oregon's Public Employee's Retirement System (PERS) after a brief waiting period. Employees may also participate in HAP's 457 Deferred Compensation plan, a tax-deferred retirement savings option available through payroll deduction.
Tuition Reimbursement
Program
HAP believes that providing training and educational opportunities for
all employees will enhance the agency as a whole. Any regular employee
scheduled to work at least 20 hours a week is eligible for the Tuition
Reimbursement Program.
Vacation and Sick
Leave
Sick leave accrues at the rate of 4.34 hours per pay period for regular full-time employees. Paid vacation leave accrues at the rate of 3.34 hours per pay period, the equivalent of two weeks per year for the first five years of employment. Part-time employees accrue sick leave on a pro-rated basis. In addition, ten paid holidays are granted throughout the year.
HAP's "Flexible Benefit "
Plans
In addition to health, dental and vision insurance, employees may be eligible to participate in flexible spending accounts. The pre-tax payroll deductions can be used to pay for qualified healthcare or dependent day care expenses up to a maximum of $5,000 per plan year.
Public Transit Discount
HAP allows employees to obtain a discounted annual all-zone TriMet transit pass and pay for the pass with pre-tax dollars through payroll deductions.
Short-term and Long-term
Disability Insurance
Short-term and long-term disability insurance is available to all regular employees working more than 20 hours per week.
Life and Accidental
Death Insurance
Regular full-time employees are provided with life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance. HAP pays the full cost of basic employee coverage (up to $150, 000). Supplemental coverage is available for the employee, spouse and/or domestic partner or children of the employee at the employee's expense.
Employee Assistance
Each employee has access to (3) free confidential counseling sessions
each year through Magellan Behavioral Services.
Financial Services
All employees are eligible to become members of Advantis or Point West Credit Unions. Bank of
America also offers special benefits to Housing Authority employees.
Our Commitment
HAP is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to all persons
regardless of race, color, religion, ancestry, sex, national origin, marital
or veteran status, physical or mental disability, on-the-job injuries,
age, sexual orientation, source of income, or any other legally protected
status, unless it is a bona fide occupational requirement reasonably necessary
to the operation of our business. For more on our Equal Employment policy, click here.
