4-205 : Insurance/workers compensation.
The city has a program of group insurance (includes medical, dental and life (hereafter medical)). Medical for full time employees begins upon effective date of employment and life begins upon completion of probation period. The city will only pay to cover the employee but the employees will have an option to add family/dependant coverage at employee expense. Insurance providers may change but full details about current policy will be available when employment begins. All city employees are covered by the Tennessee Workers Compensation Act which is fully paid for by the city. Workers Compensation Insurance will pay medical and hospital bills resulting from an on-the-job injury, and will pay weekly income if employee is unable to work. (Ord. #02-01-04, Jan. 2002, modified)
