Benefits

Overview

Part of the City of Gainesville's success is due to the efforts and loyalty of City employees. Gainesville offers a comprehensive benefits package to its employees and retirees. In assessing our comprehensive programs, the City has taken great care to seek a fair balance between business needs and employment security. There are many options available which provide City staff with coverage to best suit individual and family needs. In many cases, deductions are available on a pre-tax basis.

Request for proposals

The City of Gainesville engages in periodic requests for proposals (RFPs) for benefits to ensure premiums and coverage remain competitive and comprehensive, and help provide employees with financial security. The Gainesville Human Resources Department welcomes ideas and suggestions from our covered members.

Competitive edge

City of Gainesville benefit offerings provide a competitive edge for employee recruitment and retention. In some cases, the City funds 100% of the benefits; in most cases, City subsidies are common. Please see the Summary of Employee Benefits for details.
