BENEFITS

EMPLOYEE TUITION REIMBURSEMENT Contingent upon availability of funds, full-time classified employees are eligible for reimbursement for educational courses related to advancement for their education in pursuit of a work-related degree. DEATH BENEFIT At the death of a County employee, his or her beneficiary will receive four weeks’ pay, one-half of unused sick leave, and all annual leave as provided by applicable personnel law. RETIREE'S HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM Employees who retire from active service with Harford County Government are eligible for this program. Employees must retire with pension benefits under the State Retirement Agency or the Sheriff's Office Pension Plan. Under this program, the employee will receive a subsidy based on the number of creditable service years with their pension system; however, the employee must have a minimum of twenty (20) continuous years of service with Harford County Government and/or its covered agencies. The subsidy is doubled in the case of an employee who elects coverage for their spouse as long as that spouse is currently enrolled in our benefits program.
